Ups and Downs
13 February 2018 | Gulf of Mexico
clear, warm, waves 2 m to starboard, wind coming north at 20 knots
Using the Genoa, but wind changing to nose on. Success - Charlie able to twirl the line and unstick the mainsail, up it goes, mizzen up. looks like things are going better.
Spoke too soon - stuff flying off of shelves and all over the floor - we are really rocking and rolling. Charlie still sick but not as much. Cooking quite a challenge with only one hand (have to hang on with the other). Mainsail rips - not too bad, but not good.
