Speedy as hell!!! With just the gib up! Sea's touching the sail! Was having such a blast getting here that day... man, that was fun. Arrived way sooner than expected. But then. REALLY struggled to get back on the mooring with the wind and current against us. Lost my boat hook on 3rd attempt... attempted to get boathook back.... fell into the soup. Nearly got it back but lost it. Attempted mooring again from dingy. Lost it. Very sore arms. Lessons, just more Lessons. I exhausted myself and anchored nearby for the night instead. I fucked up my ankle pulling myself up from the dingy. I wonder if anyone out there watched me fail so miserably 🤣 A friend came out and helped me get back on the next afternoon. I have a new boat hook and a GPIRB now 🤦♀️
