Nice pic, thanks. I nearly moaned at its non-appearance for the weekend, but decided to wait 'til today. I don't like working over the weekend, so why should I expect you to?
Why not post it early for a change tho'?

You can't help applauding a man who reefs his foresail early to give a better view of the coast ahead.
It's on my screensaver!
BTW what's TOP?

It was a pretty fast sail that day, F6 from the SE, from Tinker's Hole, round the outside, west side, of Iona, and into Bunessan. More
here . Shame the rest of August wasn't so good.....

Very nice.
Think that's the first time I've seen a red jib sheet on the port side and a green one on the starboard. (Is that so you can shine a light on them at night?)

Oh excrement. Should they be other way around?

I have a similar sort of problem with my socks. The answer to your question, I think though, is it depends if you're heading into harbour or out.
Have to say, nice as the pic is, it wasn't what I imagined when I opened the thread 'Sticky March calender..'

Coming from Fanny's Bay, I'd say you are obviously a man of the world, and therefore to take all this in your, errmm, rather long stride.
