So another storm hit last night.  I measured winds at 43knots, or 80 km/h.  Fortunately, I was at the dock in KYC but it still shook the boat enough to wake us up and check the lines.

Today Bob came back and climbed the 65’ mast again to reinstall the genoa furler. Where do such people come from.  The morning after I arrived he showed up and helped, no, led the takedown of the furler, gave information on what might be wrong with it, and went up the mast to take the furler down for inspection.  It is up now but won’t turn.  When we get the sail back, we can raise it manually but can’t furl it and it is so heavy that it will be a 2 person job on a boat with 2 man crew.  I’m thrilled that Matt is coming back for the return trip.  He was awesome crew during the storm and aftermath.  Did I say that already?
