Lovely boat , what is it? How was it like sailing with the storm jib & mizzen like? Mother nature was not playing fair . Hopefully you will have better days ahead! Thanks for sharing this. From Buffalo NY
G'day Dennis, thanks for the video. I was hoping to join you but had other commitments, one of which was a family gathering at Karra yesterday. I was going to take the Whaler over, and my first thought was that the weather wasn't too hairy. But I wasn't ready as early as you, and with the showers ended up leaving her at home and taking the ferry. We came down to the beach a couple of times during the day but managed to miss you. I've found sailing jib and mizzen on the Whaler to be a very good way of dealing with gusty weather, and it looks like it worked well for you too. Cheers, Tony
Sounds like me last weekend. Sudden squall, reef the main....still too much.....drop the main....start engine...rope tangled in the prop....comedy of dramas but I stayed upright and made it home. Maybe next weekend will be better.
