But first some serious business. The stuffing box is leaking a little too fast so I got the wrenches and tried to tighten it up. It's tighter but well... it still drips. I'm not quite confident enough to repack this thing while the boat is in the water. So I've got a call out to Kyle to see if he can have a look.

The worst thing about single-handing is the having only one set of eyes to watch for traffic. I put up the full main but only about half of the Genoa out. This made is so nothing could hide behind it. It was fairly light wind but even with this configuration, I was able to hit 7kts a couple times.
