Wombat Goes to Port Louis

Had Liz at the helm for getting off the dock at Clark's Court in 18kt winds. Had a good downwind sail with one reef in the main and full jib. Performed a yachtsman's jibe to show how much easier it is to do with just 2 people and taught how to set up true jib sheets for backwinding and better sail performance. Successfully tested the anchor before coming in to Port Louis. Doug at the helm with one hand for taking us off anchor and into Port Louis channel. Liz docked against the wind at the fuel dock and took us off and successfully pulled off her first med moor docking with Shaun by her side to talk her through it!
