Dockside prep

Alex MacCaull

Checked topping lift runs freely through high and low positions. Verified engine belt adjustor is not moving now that washers have been installed in the bolts. Performed anchor recovery drill using winches from cockpit (useful for single handing). Verified the cockpit traveller moves and holds properly - I never use this, I just leave it locked in the center position because it’s a very short 2 foot traveller mounted on the steering binnacle, but I probably should be using it to get the most out of the main sail. Hardware looks good, including the two new traveller end caps I installed last season. Set reef 2 (red). Got spooked by what looked like white moths on my sails, but they are just harmless caddisflies from the water
