What's on your workbench for October?

Ship Base Cards - 2-29-20 - US.pdf

Here are two examples, Hawk and Falcon. Unfortunately, I did not save my master blank brig sheet as a PDF before leaving home. These are using my more traditional sailing angles, so don't play them against the stock base cards or brigs will get a really bad reputation!

Suzanne and I are hunting out isolated little towns and limiting our exploration to the Chesapeake (which is still a lot of territory). she is working on her blog, but a little behind, as the sailing has been great. If you don't already get updates when she posts a new blog but would like to, here's her spot to sign up:

I will have my friend who checks our mail make sure the parcel is in a safe place until our return. Weather permitting, we want to keep voyaging until the beginning of December.

Here's a picture of our course the other day.



We covered 40 nautical miles at an average speed of better than 6.5 knots. We were fluctuating between a 2nd and 3rd reef in the main and 1st and 2nd in the jib. It was exhilarating!

Thanks for those cards Dobbs. They will see me through nicely until your return.
Till then may you both sail with a fair wind. I will watch the Blog.

You were also right about the ships masts. I just followed your advice and she looks far less anaemic now.

Thanks Dobbs.
Just knocked out the Brig cards.
