Sirenia

• Jun. 10, 2007 - Single handed

Down to the boat by myself.

Make up some dividers for the shelf behind the port bunk in the main cabin to stop All the bits and pieces we put there getting mixed up.

 

Light northerly wind blowing.

Decided to try sailing off the mooring.

Engine running just in case.

Mainsail up.

Go forward and drop the mooring.

Back aft and pull the genoa out.

Hold breath.............

 

 

Yes she is picking up way and we will miss the other boats moored around.

Tack up river beyond The Rocks and spot the racing fleets from Waldringfield Sailing Club heading towards me.

Turn back and anchor of the Rocks.

Another member of the YBW.com forum came and anchored near by.

Had a good chat.

 

Headed back to the mooring.

The wind has done a 180 so it is tack back against wind and tide.

Managed to do it and sail back onto the mooring at the 1st attempt.

Well pleased with that.

 

A friend from my Car Club came down on Sunday and we motored down to the sea and up to Woodbridge.

No wind.

 

Good relaxing weekend.

 

Miles this trip 25.4
