Yesterday’s joy of seeing 9.5 kts on the speedo, with true wind a little forward of the beam, was followed by a night of slow progress with a little too far aft. And this morning, the genoa wakes me by spanking the deck with the sheets. We’re close hauled now, again. This truly has been a shakedown cruise for starboard tack. .
As long as that boom holds up, all is well!
