Saturday 2nd:
Temp 21 degrees
Wind 8-11kt's
Vis:good
Left Wilsons boatyard finally about 11am after sorting out some teething problems with the outboard
moored alongside the floating pontoon to congratulate ourselves on making it that far, hoisted up the old main sail and cast off still under engine.
Once we finally got into some clear water we pulled up the main, unfurled the genoa and killed the engine, Whisper started to move along, a nice slow pace, but didn't want to turn up wind at all, could only sail about 90 degree's to the wind, making it impossible to sail where we actually wanted to go.
Each turn to wind was met with the boat coming to a stand still and blowing herself back away from the wind.
