Always something.........at 9pm the head shackle on
the genoa failed and it fell and dragged over the side ! All on deck to get it
back on board amid much seafaring language.............sort the mess and lash it
to the guardrail. At first light we put Michael up the mast ( fairly flat sea
then ) to retrieve the halyard Then it was sort thetangled genoa,reattach and
winch it up as the sea got up a bit. All done by 8.30....team Simanderal all ok
and sailing again though a tad knackered.
Thats enough excitement for one day..........though
we could still do with a fish !
Seriously , we're all fine if a little tired and
all is well.

PS Sea didn't look so flat to me from the top of
the mast!!
