Was just perfect sailing today....8-10 knots of wind and almost flat
conditions...we sailed down to just North of Grand Hven, tacked and sailed
back.....about the most catastrophic event of the day was when I went to
grab for the mooring line coming home and landed on that damn
padeye...another bruise on the posterior....except for attaching the
spinnaker halyard to it when not sailing to get it off the mast, we don't
use the dang thing for anything. I really would like to get rid of it.
