Wow! How fast were you going? The good thing about having a low freeboard is that you get a really exciting sense of speed once the wind gets up.

As the previous owner of Blue Mistress I am delighted that Bill has discovered the Soul of this fine vessel. She suddenly lifts her skirts and powers away, joyfully like a young filly on a frisky morning.
You dont own her, if she accepts you, she owns you and to part is a wrench of the most desperate kind.
A marvelous Blogg though Bill !

Hi Bill
Nice one. Takes two to tango though and she is probably respecting that man at the helm. Just like a woman, you learn something about her all the time
Dont forget the ready anchor anchor if all turns to custard.
A boat that you can walk sideways across a stern tide must be beautifully balanced. Guess you will perform the same manoeuvre when you come in again now you have the knowledge?
Jorum has a lot of stbd prop walk in reverse so we have to take that into account all the time.
