WAY TO GO SALTY:
AIN"T THAT A NICE WAY TO COME HOME!
The first trip out with my new Crewman Don, I came in the same way.
Drifter, set flying free. I usually do that. I keep the engine running
at Idle. Just so I have reverse to stop but very seldom use it.
Don was so darn happy. It has been one of the favorite things for him
when we sail.
Bart, don't worry about taking down sails until your moored. Just cast
off the sheets and let the sail windmill. It help stopping. Also makes
for a much neater take down
