On Friday afternoon, I biked to Addison and Abra to pick up a new NTC temperature probe to fix the BELLUM fridge thermostat. It worked.
Jason and Mike had gone sailing. When they came back, we headed to BELLUM and polished off a fine bottle, along with all my chips and pork rinds. Chris joined us.
Saturday was damp and windy. Scarlet, Maud, and I changed the headsail from 155 to North 135. We headed out, and Scarlet and Maud shared the helm. We were unable to get the boat to perform. We had a bad start, about one minute late. We never caught up. We made good progress on the runs with our whisker pole, but we were still dead last. As might be expected from the competition we had.
The docking was haphazard. The pick-up line snapped. But the dinghy saved us. Scarlet did an excellent docking with very minimal coaching. I took over once the line snapped.
After the race, we had some drinks aboard BELLUM, and I attended the RS-feva fundraising event and then spent the night aboard BELLUM.
Sunday, I was planning to go to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, but decided to help Alison take photos of the open house. I turned down an opportunity to sail the GNS Fall series with Espresso-X.
I witnessed the departure of Esmerlda for her voyage to the Bahamas.
Afterwards, I came back home and updated the Raymarine Axiom charts before my subscription expired. Fibe 3GB was great for that.
