The weather suddenly changed and it got dramatically warmer. Coats and gloves off. Tabasco is barely visible on the horizon.
I saw a couple of Osprey rotary aircraft fly by a while ago.

We put the sail up and rigged a preventer just as the wind died. Tabasco is already ahead.

I cranked the sail up by hand so I wiuld oniw what it felt like. Dana also let me work thr traveler and mainsheet.

We sailed past a warship as it was being pushed into dock. We also got passed bu another huge container ship.

Things got exciting for a bit as we dragged anchor and something got caught on the sail drives. I could feel it in the steering and in forward nothing was happening.
