49. I Windlass Work & Prada Cup Excitement I Freedom Sailing.

Still wintering at the Finike marina, we take the opportunity to get some yacht work done. . Giving our anchor windlass some overdue maintenance , repairing some hairline surface cracks in the deck gelcoat and finally get the clear (not so clear) panels replaced in our Spray Dodger. We celebrate Nina's 11th birthday with other Aussie and Kiwi sailors. We also watch the final of the 2021 Prada Cup on the "big screen" being raced in Auckland , New Zealand.
