Left Harrisville@ 0715this morning. We said our farewells to our nephew Robbie and hope to see him onboard at some time in the future. The winds started off light @ 5 kts out of the South but the further offshore we sailed the more wind we had. In the end we had a good 15 kt breeze out of the South and were able to make 7 kts to Port Austin.
Had a problem bringing in the jib with the furling line. It appears it got tangled up on the furling spool: may have to keep more tension on it when letting it out and bringing it in. Really enjoyed the sail today and hope that tomorrow brings the same. We will be sailing to Port Sanilac tomorrow: about 55 nm. Need a good breeze.
It's great you could meet family. Glad to hear you are getting some wind, we too have had to motor sail more than we hoped. We're currently on Beaver Island and have phone and internet service again. Surprising how much we are addicted to technology. Jim is fixing a switch for the windlass then off to the showers and town... of course the Shamrock is on the agenda for today. Safe sails! Kathy and JIm
