Neque Deditionem

Second sail of 2023.
Hoisting and trimming sails without an electronic autopilot proved to be 'challenging'.
However, nothing is impossible if/when you really want it.
After some acrobatics (steering with one foot on the tiller whilst the hands were setting the jib) Carly was ready for duty and I just took it from there.
Four hours at sea - Penfret and back - was just what the doctor ordered.
Added bonus, another relatively painfree sail
I've had worse days.
PS 1: new autopilot on order. To be fitted (at the same time as the windlass) in the weeks to come.
PS 2: I'm considering options for this years Summer cruise. After last years mishap, it will most likely be less ambitious.
