Indian Arm - Single Handed

Took Boomerang out to test the engine after fixing an overheating issue. All went well, so I sailed around the lower end of the Arm. Between the narrows currents and the rail bridge traffic, I didn’t get back until 8:30pm.

Indian Arm - Single Handed

Light winds today, but the first voyage of 2025. Decided to take her out single-handed when my crew bailed. Practiced mainsail reefing, tacking and docking. Dry cool weather with flat calm water in a relatively protected inlet. Lots of tanker traffic though.
