Was down next to Handy's for a week... right out in front of PYC... had to
move do to politics ( harbormaster et all ).

Back up north of Boothbay ... in the fog.

I like the coast of Maine, but the fog is &6%$#4^6788**(((9.

Next big trip,, up John's Bay... who knows where after... learning with
every outing. I forgot just about everything I ever knew.

Skip flaked my mainsail for me when I took him and Lydia sailing. What a
joy it was to hoist the next time! It all stayed on the boom so I was just
lifting it from there instead of from the cabin top where it normally
falls after the last tie is removed.

Since I usually do the furling myself, either single handed or with
minimally useful crew, in a crowded harbor, I still just do the quick roll
furl. I could flake it back at the dock but everyone's usually in a hurry
to leave.

I'll probably start making the flaking another of the cruising rituals
when things are more relaxed.

Have you gotten your boat to Portland yet?

I am always trying a new method of rolling my mainsail up. Over the top,
roll from the bottom ,,,

What method do you use to roll up the main once it is dropped?
