Tacking down the Severn

Bruce, Steve and I sailed up the Severn in a 10-15 knot southerly. Once we reached Round Bay we tacked back down the river. The electric winches saved the day. 22 tacks in all. Once we approached Whitehall Creek the wind approached 25 knots with full jib and reefed main. All was well until the furler on the jib failed so we sailed into Rideout Creek and lowered the jib in the protected area.
