What I like about sailing is how you’re always learning. Last night I learned that if you drive to the Capitanerie and talk through your laptop for two hours without the engine running, the car battery will be flat. I also learned that the best place to keep the jump leads isn’t under the spare bunk when it has all the sails, tools, cushions & clothes on top of it and how difficult it is climbing down a ladder in 40kts of wind with a car battery under one arm and how it pays to always take the car keys with you to get into a locked car.
The wind died down to a nice gentle breeze today and I polished another side of the boat in the sun, and finally put the rudder back on.
