Ready, Steady.....hang on a minute!

So....I was all set to leave Cawsand Bay anchorage this morning in a fresh breeze to whisk me to Salcombe, when I noticed another rip in the Genoa . I went over to QAB marina , topped up fuel and they kindly let me run up to the chandlery for spare needles ( I'd broken three) sail tape and I picked up a speedy stitcher.This really did make a difference so once I'd gone back to Cawsand, dropped the sail, quick repair ( it was a 1 metre rent) and 2 hours later back on my way. phew.
