15th & Final Sailing Trip of 2024 - Tour of the Inlet

Peter J MacWilliam

Today Delaney and I toured the Petpeswick inlet. The wind was relatively light and it was from a southerly direction as normal. It was a fun sail but the boat was not responding very well and I suspect it was, again, due to a build up of animal life on the hull, as was the case on Sept. 30th, which was, incidentally, the last time I was out. I will see how much sea life has collected on the hull since I last cleaned it off when I take her out of the water. The conditions in October have been terrible with very high winds so we were lucky to get out at all. The deadline for outhaul is October 26th this year. Tuesday is the only good day left for out hauling so that is when I’ll be doing it.
