Finally managed to hoist the main sail. Been trying since CCYC. Turns out the problem was a twisted hank.

Had a lovely sail under main only. Wind out of the SE 5 - 10 knots. Averaged 2 - 3 knots over the bottom according to chart plotter.

Robb and Janet came alongside in their boat. Said they saw the giant jolly roger and knew it was me!

Left buoy with main up. Had a bit of trouble dropping main and tying, flaking. That will improve with practice. May consider grabby buoy with main up to avoid problems. That would depend on wind condition.

Missed mooring buoy first time so had to come around a second.

Dad met me at Caddy Bay and seemed to enjoy seeing me out there under sail.
