Lapwing is an L34 that sails out of Cape Town and is owned by Angela Collins. on our shake down sail we were surprised by the shackle that secures the boom suddenly bursting open and falling off leaving the boom swinging. Luckily we had only a light breeze. Then to our disappointment the foresail would not go up the tracks on the forestay. That will have to be fixed. The winches are not working well but that could be caused by old stiff lines that are sliding instead of gripping. #sailing #lifeisbutadream

What do you do when you arrive in the harbor and you like to lower your rolled code-0 sail and it won't come down? There is a twist in the line of your sail. At the top of the mast of 21 meters high. The twist is so strong, that trying to turn the sail the opposite site won't help. Only one solution: put on the bosun's chair and hoist to the top of the mast to untwist the line. That's what I did to make the twist go away, so we could lower our sail successfully.

This morning, while sailing out of Martinique, we were escorted by a pod of dolphins! They swam and jumped around our bow for a while before leaving us… Seeing dolphins while sailing never gets old! 🐬⛵ #sailing #caribbean #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingcouple
