Trip 22 Return home a sailboat again

Trip dates: 
Thursday, August 19, 2021
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail
  • Walden Rigging installed my new Precision Sails Genoa.
  • Finally, sailing again.
  • Back at Parkside, a sailboat again.

Walden Rigging returned to the boat and finished up the job of installing the main and the jib, and then I was on my way. I let out the new jib after exiting the Marina and then deployed the main while in the channel. All went quite smoothly. The jib felt much nicer and allowed me to sail well in light winds. I was doing almost half the wind speed on close hauls. Eventually the wind slowed, and the tide turned direction, so I recalled the sails and motored behind pools island and back into the slip. Back home again after a month of hard work.
