Downwind pole added!

We recently added a spinnaker pole to our kit. A 13-footer, kind of heavy but just about right for the boat. So we are now set for downwind runs with either the genoa or the spinnaker. Lazy times!

It mounts nicely on the mast almost like it was made for it, and it's easy to deploy after a little practice.



Ta-dah! Let me just rest on it a moment with a smoke.



So, we're another major step closer to being offshore-ready. More updates to follow.
