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.

The sailor recounts their overnight journey, detailing how rising swells and diminishing winds forced a change in strategy. The jib was stowed, and they continued with the full main sail. #sailing #ocean #adventure #travel #boatlife
