Mending main sail

Even though the sail is brand new, one of the shackles already got loose and had to be sewn back. We strengthened others as well by adding a few more stitches to each.

Hatch teak base

Making a wooden teak base for the new hatch to reconcile all the deck curves with the flat frame of the hatch. Fun with woodworking. Teak smells good

Slow fun sail and rig tuning

Went out for a quick sail to do some final adjustments to the rig. Love fest was going on in SF so the sky had fun scribbles done by a love-struck pilot.
