there was a fresh wind in Bergiva so I left a little early. I had 19 knots if breeze in the bay so out a reef in the main and reran the genny sheets to make the sail flatter. I racked out if the bay but as time was going in, as forecast the wind began to veer and die. I motored a bit then sailed into Kotor Bay although made very little progress to begin with due presumably to disturbed water coming in and or going out or whatever. the speed picked up and winds built to about 17 from the west so great sailing. the leech wasn't right regardless of the position of the car or the sheeting angle. I got the genny in by going on a broad reach..it wasn't bushing otherwise and sailing under main only towards the marina while I did fenders and ropes. I turned the engine on and got the dinghy in the foredeck. coming into the marina was difficult as there were no obvious marineros and I was going to have to reverse in let's say 16-20 knots across me. I eventually got in by springing off the stern while simultaneously yanking on the slime line. the marina is very exposed to the west. the waves are what you might expect at anchor somewhere..presumably the wind will die down at some point.
