Happy Veteran's day to all our brave men and women who have and are serving in our military !

Coming in to the cockpit this morning was a bit disappointing, one look at the decks and it made me wonder why I'd gone to the trouble of scrubbing. Loads more varnish littered the decks and the cockpit floor was dirty again. I do wonder how some folks do it with boats that look like they just left the showroom all the time.
Fortunately the winds were light today, perfect for hanking on the sails. After coffee in the cockpit we hauled the main off the starboard settee and man handled it up the companion way. It is big, bulky and heavy. Once we sorted out where the head, tack and clew were and got it laid out and slotted the foot onto the boom. I manned the halyard while Scott placed the slugs in the mast. Once we had it fully on and hoisted it had to come back down to put in the battens. Our main is fully battened, which means the battens run from the luft to the leech ( front to back) and they can be persnickety to get into the pockets. After getting the battens in it was time to tie in the reef lines and getting them straight as to which lines went to which reef point. We have two reef points in our main, fortunately our lines are different colors, there can be a lot of spaghetti in the cockpit at times. Reef points tied, the sail was lowered and flaked and the sail cover put on. Close to three hours by the time we had it on, hardware and lines back in place and covered. Time for a break!
The jib was next. It had been stored in the quarter berth and while not as big as the main, still a job to get out and on to the deck. It is an easier job than the main, after threading the sheets through the blocks and pulling out the furler line the bolt rope was guided into the furler slot and we pullled it up. I tied the sheets to the clew and we pulled it in. It took us a couple of times to get the sail furled tightly.
We put the stay sail in its bag on the deck. It's good to have it ready to go should we need it for a storm sail on our trip down to Marathon.
After getting the sails out of down below I could put the interior back together. We're living in a bit of a plastic paradise down below with the CSO still having some issues. She is doing fine but tends to leave puddles wherever she lays down. Even several walks a day doesn't remedy the situation, when she sleeps ... you get the idea.
With the sails on and things straightened down below we headed back to the condo. This marina has some restrictions on how many nights you can spend aboard. We have plenty of more things at the condo to move aboard before we shove off. Back to the condo for another load.
