First full-fledged solo sail. more problems with the headsail furler, but I think it just needs some care furling and unfurling, is all. Light but steadily wind out of the East until 5ish, then a lull. The solo docking layout went off without a hitch, thankfully, but pretty forgiving conditions.

Steady easterly, no more than 9kn, occasional chop, clear evening. First solo sail with Beatrix, no main, just the genoa on close reaches, staying in the cockpit. Definitely going to run the main halyard back to the cockpit.
