Morgens kurz vor 5 Uhr auf der Ostsee während der Segelregatta Midsummer Cup bricht die Sonne durch die Wolken. Die Yacht J97 Monk kreuzt Richtung Westen, im Hintergrund sind andere Regattateilnehmer zu sehen. Fähren aus Lübeck und Travemünde passieren das Regattafeld.

Reefing lines are important on a sailboat because they enable us to reef down the main sail (reduce sail area) when in strong winds. We had accidentally crossed two of our reefing lines when we rerouted them to make place for our new staysail halyard. This faux pas meant Adam couldn't reef our main sail when he needed. Although conditions were fine at the time, we're lucky he caught this now and we avoided a serious situation that could have occurred because of this mistake.
