2009-08-09 - Sailing (Flopping Around) in Poole Bay

We set out knowing there wasn't going to be much wind, but there really wasn't any. We sat out in Poole Bay and got pushed around by the tide making around 1 knot here and there. We had about 20 seconds sailing as we re-entered the harbour as the measly 3mph wind was funnelled through the harbour entrance to a 10mph swirl. We motored back in to make the tide at our mooring. It was still a pleasant day :)

You'll notice on our jibe that the sheet once again gets snagged on the stays. We really need to put some spliced rings on there instead of those clunky knots.

Sorry about my voice - I've got a cold at the moment!
