Double Handed Farallones


Waiting for the wind to pick up on the Bay so we can fight the flood getting out



Pretty dead in the morning but it will pick up outside the gate to reach 30 knots or so


Swapping headsails to a smaller jib when the wind reached about 10+ knots


We also reefed the mainsail and we probably needed the #4 and perhaps a second reef too



We were basically under a huge cloud which you can see in the distance but getting back to the Bay was a real treat because of the beautiful sunset




Sailing under the gate. We kept the reef in during the downwind and even with this and a jib we were doing 16 knots. Epic!


Tired, wet, cold - but happy.
