Finally got off the dock well, and reefed, got around spectacle when north westerly winds picked up to 30+, could not make headway zig zagging so went back behind spectacle, tried to go back out on jib, not enough power to make progress, motored back, engine died again while docking! got it restarted just in time got an assist into the slip. A nice IPA and a parade in North end to chilax after the sail

outhaul broke midsail, had to rig it with fender line

Moderate wind then 0 and we motored back from out past bakers . Major storm as we were coming in on the launch . Also got a fundraising call from BU while sailing with a BU professor lol went to Maddie’s after and I got the swordfish BLT instead of my usual lobster BLT

Moderate then heavy air. Main sheet clovis pin ring came out at trav and we repaired and got back underway. Ate at Maddie’s after. Lobster BLT

Seemed to be building leaving the dock. We started out with the #3 jib but quickly changed to the #1 as it got lighter. Conditions were stable for fantastic upwind sailing to castle island. Wind went super light and we started engine. Then it went to white caps so we dropped the jib. Tried to go back to the #3 but conditions too challenging to get it on so sailed back on main only.

Engine died by 35 slips, drifted and skulled into the slip on no power!
