Gennaker sailing, at last!

Having filled up the diesel tank and the fridge in Ystad, we set off again, going west, and Lo!, the wind was now in the SE, at 10 to12 knots. Perfect for gennaker. A bit of a struggle to get it hoisted and pulling, especially as the sheet rope detatched itself from the sail at the wrong moment. But now, WOW! 11 knots of wind and over six kts of boat speed. We’ll be there before tea, well, maybe not, but….,      To complete the bliss, it is a glorious sunny, clear-sky day, definitely SUMMER, at last!

It’s a very hard life, isn’t it. At times that is.
