Thanks Bob - we were greater than 45 degrees at times. It was tiring at the helm for a full day. The shifts were such that if you feathered too high you had a good chance of getting caught in an autotack. I had one autotack all day that we recovered from quickly. Too bad I cant store up that extra turn for a future penalty :-)

Off the wind we reached 11.4 kts with reefed main and blade. Unfortunately the upwind speed was really impacted by the chop and current.

Once we finished, Mark Rotsky took the helm on the way home. We dropped the jib to motor sail up wind using the reefed main. After yesterday the boat was a swimming pool below decks. I'm glad I took off the cushions the day before. Since we are at a slip, I run a dehumidifier. I'm heading back to the boat today to bring the cushions back.
