I headed out from work for a short sail on Trouper 2. Truth be told, I left work a little early.
Wind was light from the North at about 5 Knots. Flood tide.
I was delayed departure because I broke the valve handle off the through-hull fitting that brings water to the engine. I had to open the valve with a pair of vice grips.
Sounds easy but it was difficult do to the location of the thru-hull. Never-the-less I managed a 45 minute sail under Jenny until the light started to fade.
