Another amazing day, got up at about 1030, couldn’t sleep more than that, went on deck, for awhile and hung out with Katie while she was on watch. Had lunch and then on to work party, but it wasn’t our usual thing, we got sail training. We also had another man overboard drill after lunch and I think things went a little smoother.
Went over a lot of the things we had gone over before, but repetition always helps. Shook out the foretop, set, struck and furled. We had some issues with setting it, a leech got caught and only the port side was going up when the halyard was hauled and a footrope was about to get caught but Grant cleared it. Then struck and set the jib, fore staysail and spanker.
And again for the 4 to 8 afternoon watch, everything went smoothly, had dinner on deck, Katie hung around for awhile and then Mitchell came on deck and talked with us while we ate. Michelle felt sick for most of it so Grant and I ended up doing most of the galley things, but that’s no problem.
Haven’t seen any other boats all day, just some flying fish and birds.
