Our first sail of the season - beautiful beam reach most of the day from
Portland to Boothbay Harbor, our C&C 41 topping 9 knots! Unfortunately we
took our eye off the current when we pulled up our first anchoring attempt
(too close to lobster pots) and drifted into ledge. In the pounding I
couldn't think straight to weight the boom and heel so our deep keel could
tip over into being a not-too-deep keel....Help came but not soon enough.
We have a brand new (1-day of use) North Sails 125% genny if you have a
boat like ours with furling.
Don't forget all your tricks when you head out!
