With all the hard work the Cap'n has been doing around here, and at his other job, he has been needing to take a quick cat nap here and there, it is somewhat mandatory that the Cap'n be Nap’n.
We have been working hard to get to ‘Right Here, Right Now’ that sometimes we forget to slow down and enjoy the life we are living. So it is important to take our time and soak in the cruisers life.
The Cap’n showed the crew how to ‘reef’. Hopefully we don’t have to ever reef the main in windy conditions. We sailed this past weekend with it reefed, just to see how well she sails with it, and it does take alot of the wind out of the sail. We ran the jib on the forward, the staysail mid ship, and the main. It was a blast. Cerridwen has 8 sails that we have to learn to run. I am excited to try a couple different sails, that I have never sailed with, especially the ‘parachute’. You use the parachute when you have the wind at your back, our parachute is rainbow colored, imagine that. And I had nothing to do with the color, we are just lucky like that. You will see pictures when we fly it.
