Since there is still almost no wind, we take the optimal conditions for today Anlasss, try our gennaker. Of course we are on the buzzer also earlier with gennaker and later sailed with Parasailor, but on the CESARINA For us it is a new experience.
So we were very surprised first, reflective of Genackertasche no matching pods. But somewhere in the depths of the ship dived after some back-and-forth still a suitable canvas on. Then we had to find, that we had installed the appropriate slot in the Genoa sheet through our Outboard. Den but we did not want to carry more than just board therefore now. So we turned the sheet with an additional role on the right track and then it could go. In almost 8 Knots of wind we put only the gennaker. On the main sail we did not in the weak wind. So far we had the impressive, seen blue light wind sails with the white stars only images. In reality it was still much better. Und es sah nicht nur gut aus 🙂 Es brachte auch einmal wieder etwas Bewegung in die Sache. In ten knots of wind we took a good six knots. That was a relief after rocking on the last night. So we enjoyed the sunny and pleasant summer sailing.
The day was topped off by a wonderful “3-people”-Mahi-Mahi, of Dietmar went to the Angel. The stands then for tomorrow on the menu, denn unser Abendessen hatten wir bereits schon hinter uns 🙂
We decided, that will be sailed with the gennaker only during the day. With his 230 Square could handle very quickly become a problem, if, for example, comes up unexpectedly strong winds. The risk we wanted especially not enter at night. We thought, what course we wanted to go the next night by what sailing, but somehow it was a bit like a choice between plague and Colera :-(. Either we move too far from the target path away or it was just bumpy. Thus, even this night was again shaped by rocking and our resounding sailing suffered real agonies. In the early morning once again pulled away a rain area about us. Unfortunately it did not work as expected with some wind, but let the wind completely asleep. Our autopilot was totally overwhelmed with two to four knots of wind from circulating directions and said goodbye, by “Fault” went. 🙂 Das brachten wir aber schnell wieder in Ordnung und starteten die Maschine. After that some peace came once into the ship again.
During the day we practiced our setting and mountains of Genackers, as always thick rain clouds gathered over us, die in der Regel auch viel Wind im Gepaeck haben 🙂 Bis zum Abend hatten wir dann unsere Technik weitgehenst optimiert. In the evening came the MahiMahi on the table, tasted quite excellent.
