Tuesday, June 18, 2024
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

I could see there was a light breeze on the bay as I drove over the HRBT. However, almost nothing as I got out onto the water. Fortunately the outgoing tide carried me out Mill Creek and around Fort Monroe where the wind conditions improved greatly. With mild conditions it was a good time to try out reefing my 540 sq ft sail. It was quick and easy, except I don't think I let the sail down quite enough for the rear reefing line to pull the lower section tight enough and ended up with a wrinkle, more of a fold actually. Will experiment again...
