Work day on Imidiwan -- retreieved the halyard from Saturday, and attempted (unsucessfully) to install a windex and (successfully) a flag halyard. I tightened the shrouds and installed cotter pins, and as the wind had picked up a little, and was forecast to be 6-8 knots, we decided to go out.

And got our butts kicked -- winds were double that and we had too much sail. I broached Imidiwan and we failed to reef properly under duress.

But we learned a lot, gybed home with no problems, sailing off the wind and went to Cantler's for yummy crabs although the battery didn't charge. Total sail of about 9nm.
