Bending a sail means securing/rigging a sail to the spars. We get a majority of the lines, shackles, and blocks situated. Garrett hoists the mainsail so many times, trying to beat his reefing times, I lost count. Like a child again the joy is clear. Apolog...

Karen had her new yellow bikini. Went out to the islands on our Catalina 42, wanted to test the patch on our dinghy and get some drone shots. Unfortunately, on the way out the dinghy went limp. We were disappointed since flying our drone was not an option....
