I was out yesterday in Sweet Dream. It was my first trip since last August
what with the hurricanes and all. Small craft warnings on the bay but the wind
was starting to lay, 12 - 15 with gusts to 18. I had accidentally put a twist
in the jib when hanking it on to the forestay and need to go forward to fix it.
I thought of the GOB bungie trick but the M15 tiller has the lift mechanism
that raises the rudder. I'm glad to know a simple line would work. Next time
I'll try that.
What a RIDE. I hit 5 knots with a reef in the main and a badly twisted 150
pounding into nasty chop.
