Also 4 days ago...
The sailing is going well but I'm tired of the motion. Tomorrow noon is the half way point. I can't seem to get the vane to work so I'm relying on the Ahelm - hope it holds out. Weird gear failure - there's a little knob thing on a short bit of stainless wire rope on the furling gear. It's used to guide the sail edge into the foil on the headstay - so it just flops about except when you're raising a sail. Anyway, I went forward and it's gone! the wire bit is shredded. Why??? Anyway, it's not really critical but I'll need to get another.
In the meantime, I flog south.
