I was lucky and had a really nice an sunny day.

The work on mast winch went very smooth.

I now curious if I can pull up the mainsail again to reef 1 again without using the winch handle. If so, I have a good indicator for the need of the next maintenance.

All the night we had no rain, and just before I started writing, I looked through the hatch at the laundry hanging on the PRT genoa sheet and thought that it must be dry now. Having completed my happy thought, it seems that Fati, the Marquesian God for rain and wind is bad-tempered today. He send a very strong, but short burst of rain and tried to blow the laundry from the genoa. He got the laundry wet but not off of the genoa-sheet-clothesline. Lucky me!

Today I will do PC work and when Ralf comes over for a cup of coffee, we will add some work to our coffee talk. I want to improve the mounting of the hydro generator’s up-down mechanism with larger washers. This work requires a third, 5 m long telescopic arm, or a friend who gives me a hand countering the screws outside while I work inside.
