C sailing Little Larry in squally conditions
It blew a bit and was quite wet in the night and soon after breakfast there was heavy rain and the forecast 5/6 winds. It cleared up by midmorning and C, J I & A made an expediton ashore using the Tinker tramp as a rowing boat. C & I moved Larry forward a little as the wind was blowing us back hard and we were getting quite close to another boat which had come in after us last night and was on a mooring.
Christopher then went out for a sail in Little Larry. Shortly after he started there was a squall with heavy rain and quite strong winds. The sun came out shortly thereafter but the wind dropped so it took him sometime to get back. The new sail with its ‘window’ is a great improvement but we need a slightly longer sprit to replace the broken one with an extra piece of wood lashed on.
The shore party returned for a latish lunch. The weather forecast for tomorrow looks very wet and windy so we are contemplating returning to Bodo this evening after the children go to bed.
