Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

We were sailing out liveaboard sailboat/raceboat up the coast, and almost home under the golden gate bridge. Just 15 miles form the gate, we noticed a problem: the engine temp alarm, and no input to the RPM gauge/tacometer. A telltale sign that the engine belt is broken! We rolled around with no wind and no engine, tools flying across the room, and no steerage. We were able to get a new belt on eventually, and most importantly, we got back to the dock just in time to get burritos at our favorite burrito place!
