Elise Cruise Day V - Fast, Food and Fix

After two days of sailing blind, we decided to fix the masthead fly. I walked into the store and asked for two of those as they weren't on the shelves. The store clerk looked at me, raised his eyebrows and said "how many masts do you have on your 27-footer"?

I will now carry a spare masthead fly at all times.
We were pretty well equipped and we didn't need any ice this time around. Ambient temperature did the job!
Little frog is sailing the boat fast.
Trimming the sails really nicely.
We could have been heading to a new adventure out of the gate - but we had a prior commitment so we sailed around the Bay instead. The amazing Cirque du Soleil was calling for us. We would sleep in our own bed that night but we would go out again the following day...Only to find very little wind and motor around...We were invited at a Holiday Party in the evening but we would go out again the following day...to take Elise out of the water!
