We had a good second day of sea trialing today. Sailing in 20 knots allowed us to load the boat and rig more than the previous day. It all went really well and everyone was satisfied with the outcome. We are still tuning the mast and keeping a close eye on all the systems. We have a small issue with our outhaul being controlled but we should have that solved tomorrow morning. It is supposed to get quite windy tomorrow afternoon, so boat call is 7:30 am and head out as soon as the boat is ready. We will continue to look at more sails and hope to be able to get a kite up. That will open a whole new can of checks: bowsprit, topmast, sheet sheaves…
The body of water we are sailing is about to get a whole lot smaller!

If you need some runway or an area of lighter breeze then don’t hesitate to shoot up into Mt. Hope Bay. I wouldn’t mind studying for final exams so much if I could watch Bella sail by from the window above my desk.
The boat looks fast and sexy guys, see you out and about.
