This little visitor landed on Li's deck! We were sailing from Haapsalu to Kökar #. First half an hour she just slept, keeping balance perfectly. Listen how I'm whistling and she blinks deep brown eyes. After gathering some energy she started to explore the deck. Going through every corner trying to find something to eat. As an insectivorous bird she didn't like served rolled oats! After catching one spider she started to do short preying flights around the boat and always returned to the aft deck to eat her catch. Many ladybugs lost their lives. I didn't even know that there are ladybugs flying in the middle of Baltic Sea. This common redstart was unbelievably fearless! She let us even touch her feather coat gently. Then also another common redstart landed! She was soaking wet shivering on the cockpit floor. But the first visitor was angry and drove her away. To make this rare meeting more strange, a threatening falcon was gliding circles high above the boat for almost two hours. Just like wanting to add some drama! Maybe it has been chasing these little birds and they were seeking for a shelter. When the first islets were on sight the little passenger left.

Tuesday Tips: Mastering Jib Trim on a Catamaran ⛵️ Ready to perfect your jib trim? Think of the jib as the leading edge of an airplane wing—smooth and balanced for optimal performance. 🎯 Key tips: • Telltales should flow back on both sides of the sail, with no leech luffing. • Maintain twist from bottom to top, matching the main sail's shape. • Keep the slot (the space between the jib and main) just right to sustain attached airflow across the main sail for lift and speed. 🌊 Sail smarter, not harder—find the perfect balance! #TuesdayTips #SailTrim #CatamaranSailing #BalanceCatamarans #SailingTips
