1st place ORC open! Doesn't feel real. Super fun until the last leg, but whatever. Got it done. Definitely was a good choice to do as a shakedown. I needed to be forced into gross night crowded onshore deep run conditions or it would never have happened. lol.
Discovered some stuff we need to replace promptly before Bermuda. Going to be awfully busy until june 5. Reefing the furling main underway has been messing with the way the inhaul goes on the cartridge, so we need to really be strict about how that happens. Also when we replaced 2 blocks on the boom we didn't consider the outhaul car, which looks original. Why did Jeanneau use plastic for those?
Mega fog overnight on the way back was bleh, but "in radar I trust". Way better than trying to use it instead of AIS like happened in December on the Hylas.
