Look Mum, No Hands!

Well, we hadn't moved, so Chris's cunning anchoring observations and theories had worked! With slightly stronger winds than the previous day we were able to set the sails with a full mizen and stay, 1 reef in the jib and no main, such that I didn't have to touch the wheel for over 15 minutes (without the auto pilot), which is a record!

We took the sails down at Kara Ada but it had been a great sail. I was given a new home in the marina too. Nothing unusual there. Every time I come back I always seem to be given a new home! Still, it's a great way of meeting new people and practising my berthing skills!
