For Tuna - Log 3 - Day 17

Hello Sailors,

whoever says atlantic crossings are boring please try again;) after chasing a few squalls yesterday the wind left us again...and so did our mainsail...it slowly fell down and decided to take a rest - in the pitch dark night (it was still cloudy all around us) we tried to figure out what happened: the halyard sheet on the head of the furler inside the mast loosened, some single strands first and slowly the whole knot came undone - we managed to fold the sail in nicely and it was time to walk up the mast - armed with a small weight and a fishing line to guide a new halyard sheet through the mast…it took us 5 hours until all was done and the sail is back up again - right when we finished a slow squall hit us and bathed the whole boat in rain - so Simon could finally test his heavy weather clothes:)

Since then we sailed mainly with our gennaker - a pure joy - a bit more to adjust but the beauty and form is just a pleasure!

All are well and nearly two more fish today;)

Salty wishes from For Tuna
