Peristera - Sail problems and flying fish

My furling main got stuck. We tried the usual way, to pull in and out, to straighten the sail inside. It didnt help. We heard the twerping sound from sailcloth fighting to move inside the mast.
We discussed possible solutions. The leech was folded, and you could see parts of the sail being twisted around eachother.
The next day one crew climbed up in the mast, with a can of spray "For everything that slides" in her hand. She sprayed, I cranked, she sprayed more, and little by little the sail slided out.
One of my crew crossed the Atlantic ocean when she was five. She had a picture of her, at the age of five, sitting in their boat with a flying fish in her hand. Yesterday, we found a fish on deck, and we could arrange the same picture some 30 years later.
