Remarks: Another blustery day. Took in the inner/outer jibs for a blast of wind – sails furled by Clara and Jeremie. Took in the mainsail, furled by Julian, Eden, Clara, Amelia, Lyra and we ran off before the force 7 winds. When it laid down the wind had backed a point and we set sails again. Dustin took charge and soon we are reeling off the knots again. Sent down the main t’gallant staysail for some stiching. Cut down by Clara and Julian.
