So we set out for Nanaimo with our friends on The Job Site and met with a rough crossing. What we did not expect was having a block separate from the pad eye under the boom and cause a cascade of trouble that ended in a jammed main mast furler. We had to take down the mainsail. So now we are in Nanaimo harbour with a mainsail covering our cockpit and starboard side. We called Nanaimo Yacht Services on their emergency number and Geoff Pettifer came by. Life saver!!! Repairs will be made today.
Here is the job site along side under sail with reefed main and genoa.
