4 day trip to Mayor Island
18 April 2011
About 12:30pm still 10 miles from Mayor, a front arrived from behind us the wind went from 5 to 25 knots in about 1 second, that was all a bit much for the spinnaker and the top and bottom parted company with each other.
A bit of a frantic moment while the bottom half was retrieved and the headsail was set, the 25knt winds stayed with us all the way to Mayor so the second half of the trip didn’t take nearly as long as the first.
John found the bean bag and settled down for a snooze while I kept us pointing at Mayor, the GPS kept us up to date on where we were at and it was a nice boisterous sail down wind.
