Day 3 of Sailing -

The wind has dropped to a level that the sails just flap. So out comes the spinnaker.  Hooking the spinnaker up went without any problems, though the halyard snap did not seem to work right. I asked for WD-40 to fix it, but it never arrived. So up went the spinnaker, and the wind filled it perfectly!  Then "POP" the whole spinnaker disconnected from the top of the mast and just laid out on the water next to the boat. Mama, Cassidy and I were able to pull it up without damaging it. Cassidy volunteered to go up the mast and retrieve the halyard, I got the WD-40, and within 10 minutes we were flying the spinnaker.

Shannon just finished some chocolate chip cookies, so until tomorrow!
