Enjoyed a very nice sail under main and Genoa. The wind was light but enough to get out to Plumper Passage and back. My new method of single handed sailng on board Trouper 2 is to raise the main while on my mooring buoy and then sailing off without using the engine.
Speaking of the engine, it looks as though my original battery is nearing end of life. I had to switch over to my second battery in order to start the engine.
I managed to use up every last bit of wind and by the time I had put Trouper 2 to bed, Cadboro Bay was dead calm.
Here's a photo of my new boat. (In my dreams....)
Trouper 3?
