====== Summer 2024-2025 ======

In a gap between two surgeries we rushed out for a quick afternoon sail.

===== 2025-02-01 =====

This was our first outing with the new halyards and the gopro. The forecast was for 10-13 knots. It was gusting to about 18-20 when we got there, with a light drizzle. We got out into the water without too much hassle. Michelle narrowly avoided throwing the car keys into the river. I succeeded in throwing my sunglasses into the river, but managed to retrieve them before they sank.

Michelle recorded a brief snippet of footage while we were underway. I need to build a mount to attach it to the end of the boom.

The boltrope on the foot of the mainsail pulled out of the boom again. The outhaul had come loose again. The new halyards worked great. No worries at all. Unfortunately I forgot to record the track of our journey. Next time, for sure.
