(A closeup of part of the dreaded in-mast furling system)
The last time we went out the mainsail jammed in the in-mast furler, the wind piped up something fierce, my crew member was unable to steer the boat properly as she could not see over the dodger (!) and I was unable to clear the jammed sail as that entailed working on the coach roof by the mast...and somebody needed to steer.
And yet, a good time was had by all, motoring around, drinking cold beer back on the mooring, deliberately leaving my phone in the truck and eating at the Park Lunch. This experience, these days spent doing nothing and yet doing everything, these are the highlights of summer.
