Day #21 on the lake (barely)

Today was to be Karla’s second lesson. She was coming out after work, so I went and rigged the 5.3 and put the Superlight uphaul on it. She ran home first and I was all rigged, so I went out to make sure the uphaul was going to stay tied. After 30 minutes of messing around I dropped the sail, grabbed the uphaul and it broke in half. I was sure glad this happened to me rather than Karla.

I unplugged the mastfoot, dropped the sail, grabbed the boom and tried to stick the foot in the base, but did not want to scratch up the board, so I just held it for a few minutes and reached the far shore.
