Remarks: Wonderful sailing day. Spring, Mike and George take noon sights. Ollie and Clara end-for-end the starboard for lower topsail brace. This means unreeving it and reversing it for even wear and extended life. Pol changes out one of the fore shroud bottle screws. Sailmaking continues with Rachel and Andreas on the hatch. Next marlinspike and serving workshop this afternoon.
