After four weeks away we made a quick visit to M2 for Peter Carstens to check the sails. He wanted to go out for a quick sail so he could check everything out. So it was a mad scramble to make everything ready for sailing.
A rather choppy sea and certainly not my idea of perfect sailing, especially with the men sorting sails out, so it was tacking and healing and all sorts of manouveurs which made it rather uncomfitable for yours truly. My idea of coping with all this crashing and banging is to go below, stretch out on the couch and not see what is going on. I rather like the feeling of the boat when I can't see all the goings on.
Then it was back into the marina and Des and Kat on the jetty to grab ropes. Time to put the billy on and have a cuppa to calm my nerves.
We did a one day sail with Grant and Ann, Bob and Ross and Katrina earlier on and it was a beautiful winters day and perfect sailing conditions. As I have never sailed in the winter months it was a great learning for me to see just how nice the winter sails can be. Certainly not with the storms and high winds, but definitely on the mild sunny days that we are lucky enough to have.
Now it is time for the clean up after being away for four weeks and the birds using it as their roosting place.
