Falling Apart

The genoa came splatting down today because of a broken wire halyard. The
spare genoa that has been lurching about my cabin for three weeks turned out
to be no use at all as the halyard is now down inside the mast. A bit vexing
as it was our best downwind sail in these squally conditions. Now we have
the mainsail up and a bright orange storm jib hung on the spinnaker halyard
at the front which should get us some sympathy when we limp into Rodney Bay.
St Lucia is only about 30 miles away now as the seagull flies but seagulls
can travel downwind a bit better than we can just now.
