S/Y Linnea

My hands are oh so sore. Tying battens to a junksail (actually with these battens it’s the other way around, you tie the sail to the battens) is bloody business. If you can stand the swollen fingers it is great fun to walk around with the bamboo, thicker than my over arm, until someone asks “what is that? a mast?” Then you say, “no, it’s a batten”, and they think you are making fun of them and walk away quietly.

Hoisting the red sail is a lot better.  People were actually shouting over the bay how beutiful she was.

I took the camera, but had no time to take pictures.

Tomorrow we will rig the lazy jacks, sheet, etc. Will we sail on friday? It would be fun.
