two day spinaker run

Email to Dave on Megabyte
Dave,
It took a lot more work and info than I realized to add Ham Winlink on top of the
sailmail. One of the issues is the Yotreps thing because now our position reports
go out on KE7BQN as you have found out. I did mention it in the blog that it might
be either one but Cindy's sister already had trouble. Could you help and put a
note on the blog that KE7BQN is the right one and may be even change the link on
the right side to get to it or make a note on the link title. I think I might have
done that.

We had an interesting morning. We have been running under our asym spinnaker for
two days through the night and no problem even though that was a somewhat risky
thing to do at night. Well, we got a wrap around the furled jib on the forestay
this morning in the broad daylight and what a circus jerk that was. Lots of excitement
but we finally spun the boat around it enough times to let the wind slowly unfurl
it, meanwhile Cindy is on the foredeck holding on to the sheet straight up and down
to keep it from causing more trouble and the bloody thing lifted her off her back
on the dink. She was not liking this drill at all, but we got it unwrapped and
down and now that the wind is up we are under jib and main. Remember all the boats
on the HaHa that wrapped so bad they had to get to anchorage or Cabo to get them
undone?? Well, that was going through my mind. Got the ol' adrenalin flowing let
me tell you. All OK now but pooped.

Thanks for the tip and help,
Joe & Cyn
