Tests and Trials

Monday was a test day - after an early morning swim and a walk along the beach, we spent a few hours with the Asymetrical sail - trying different techniques and also breaking the block! - Whoops a daisy...

Weather more settled with light breezes and warm sunshine - ( like a June day in Leicester.) - Enough sunshine to give Jen "Panda Eyes"

Afternoon spent flushing chemicals through the watermaker - It should be in full working order for tomorrow. ( Simon has promised ! ) Too prove how confident he was he went up the mast whilst we were at our Anchorage and took this photos. - "Shall we let him down?" - said Kai.
