Wind blew up and spinnaker didn't. Finally found just enough of that first thing to fly the poor abused sail, last seen creating a hazard around forestay. Repair held, but discovered a couple more chafed spots, fortunately not in a stress area - a project for later. Made good time, but wind has been more variable than forecast. Had to snuff the spin for overnight as wind topped 18 knots before easing, slowing us below 5 at times. Have to average 6 knots to arrive around midday tomorrow for high tide at what has been confirmed a shallow channel to good anchorage. Confidence runs high(ish).
