Repairs Day
15 July 2017
Most of the day was spent fixing unimportant things on the boat and changing out the large genoa for a smaller jib. We were clearly overpowered in those 20-35 knot winds previously. Thought was the little jib would cut thru the wind and allow tacks to be at less angle. After lunch we went for a drive around Forillon National Park. It was between us and the town of Gaspe. As it is Canada 150 this year and Parks gave out free passes to all National Parks, we figured the place would be jammed. In fact, it seemed empty. I am sure for anyone else; the vistas would be beautiful in the park. For us we just completed 300 miles of the same thing with a view from the water, so it was not very interesting for us. Anyway, we did it. Dinner back on the boat to prepare for a 400am wake up call.
