Crazy Horse was galloping through the waves and making time -10,11, 12 kts then, bam, the spinnaker blew!
Not to worry says Bill we can get it fixed along the way.
So today we put up the Joshua spinnaker and were really flying down those waves. Crazy was really ploughing through the confused waves. Our top speed with Joshua was 15. Then, pop! The spinnaker blew through the tack ring that was holding the sail to the boat. So now, not to worry, we have no spinnakers left. Both must go into the repair shop. Every time those things go up I worry that someone will get hurt. Fortunately, no one was hurt or
nothing else was damaged in the foray.
So even though there is some estrogen on this boat there isn't enough to account for Bill and Matt. Sailing with the spinnaker was exciting even tho short lived!
oh, 837 miles to go without a spinnaker.
