FW: The day of 'Perfects'

From:
Trelorna [mailto:trelorna {CHANGE TO AT} mailasail {DOT} com] Rain and squalls overnight but a perfect morning.
We are still going in the right direction and at a reasonable
speed. Parasailor down for repairs, so put up the cruising chute which set
perfectly until we encountered the perfect squall (35 knot wind from nowhere
with a blue sky!). Boat broached and then big bang… cruising chute
spectacularly and perfectly shredded! Sadly no photograph as crew
otherwise engaged at the time. However, there was an upside…. The
perfectly baked brown loaf for lunch (see photo). Tennis court sized
Parasailor repairs completed in the saloon and we plan to fly it again
tomorrow. Camera will be at the ready. PS this was us looking clean and tidy before the
start! |
