What a beautiful day in Maine. Gorgeous blue skies, not a cloud in the sky. Another day on Rocinante. And not without some bit of failure or mishap. I’m starting to think this boat is cursed. 😆

Some practice sailing led to a nice start. In the pack but the Jib is off. Not trimmed the way it should be. Seems too long for the boat. Francis at the helm, John on jib, I was on Main and foredeck. We were in the run on the downwind and at the finish, Francis caught the finish buoy on the bow, wow and drug it 200 yards… I eventually got it free. Unbelievable. 

Then were sailing upwind again, trying to make up some major loss, we just fell out of the running and way behind. Helman needed, majorly.  Then on the downwind, everything fell apart and on the douse, the hardware on the boom vang came off the mast and tore a small hole in the spinnaker

Race over.
