Marked the New Year by sailing on my best friend's new boat, with a few old friends. Loads are heavier. This C&C is a few feet longer than Das Boot. Faster, newer, etc. And needs to be sailed by younger hands than mine. Moving around on deck, grinding wenches are a challenge for this old man.
The purpose of the sail was to get the light wind spinnaker out of the bag for the first time and to raise it. That was surprise no one was prepared for.

How about younger ones doing the work and you just barking orders?
ReplyDeleteThat's been S.O.P. for years now. Now that the younger one are barking orders, it's time for me to make a change.
