Sailed nicely from Lake drive to sw Brownsea, then no
more wind drifting towards chain ferry - forgot paddles.
Towed back to Brownsea. Still no wind. Towed it to w Brownsea on a rope from the beach, catching bottom on rocks several times. Turned it over on beach to try to seal up leaking bailer. Threatening to nail it shut. New fairlead pos better but still backwinding, better rig tension - remembered to fit mast chocks. |
