#9 Afternoon on the Channel

Trip dates: 
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

First time with the auto-helm powered up. Since I sail single handed, this is going to be a game changer for me. While my Nonsuch is generally a well behaved boat, it does like to do it's own thing if nobody is watching. Also while hauling up that big sail, wind forces on the boat make it want to turn away from the wind as the sail begins to come up forcing me to make corrections. 

 

Relaxing afternoon sail. Happy to see warming temperatures....
