Drop main, Clean dinghy and go sailing and Masquerade party

On Saturday, I did a routine locker swap and went to the St. Laurent 400 presentation.  




After the presentation, I reorganized winter frame stuff, took down the main sail myself, and then dreaded cleaning the dinghy.  She was pretty bad and, to make matters worse, I had only used the dinghy about ten minutes this year.  After that, I decided to take her out for what is likely a last sail of the season.  










I had booked the haul-out for Wednesday, November 28, since I was planning to go to Antiqua to survey Peacekeeper.  That got cancelled.  I might have liked to keep the boat in the water since the weather was looking nice.

I departed at 1:50, sailed close-hauled to Pointe Claire, and gybed back to the club at 4PM for a final pump-out and to dock the boat.

Boat tachometer says 700 RPM
I checked the Yanmar tachometer and found it was reading about 30% low.
