Nice pic, thanks. I nearly moaned at its non-appearance for the weekend, but decided to wait 'til today. I don't like working over the weekend, so why should I expect you to?

Why not post it early for a change tho'?

You can't help applauding a man who reefs his foresail early to give a better view of the coast ahead.
It's on my screensaver!
BTW what's TOP?

It was a pretty fast sail that day, F6 from the SE, from Tinker's Hole, round the outside, west side, of Iona, and into Bunessan. More here. Shame the rest of August wasn't so good.....

Very nice.
Think that's the first time I've seen a red jib sheet on the port side and a green one on the starboard. (Is that so you can shine a light on them at night?)

Oh excrement. Should they be other way around?

I have a similar sort of problem with my socks. The answer to your question, I think though, is it depends if you're heading into harbour or out.

Have to say, nice as the pic is, it wasn't what I imagined when I opened the thread 'Sticky March calender..'

Coming from Fanny's Bay, I'd say you are obviously a man of the world, and therefore to take all this in your, errmm, rather long stride.
