We had to do this twice. After the first turn we could open the sail again to furl in, but then it furled wrong again... so we had to do another turn. Then the jib got rolled in well, it's a very harrowing thing to do when you're just off a marina dock. I was on the radio when the wind caught in the damn thing >_<...

Anyway, we were very glad to arrive on the dock, even if our spot was shit. I'm even happier now to be in a quieter spot :>, we just had pancakes, and I'm holding a cup of warm coffee :neofox_comfy_mug:

For who is thinking you're too much North, you're at the same latitude of Brussels 😁

@jameschip Pino handles pretty well in that kind of weather, at least, and I've got a really good sailing partner (that last bit is especially important).
Devine responds quickly and well in dangerous situations. Having someone who is level-headed aboard keeps problems from getting worse. On my own, I'd be fucked.
