On Friday I was at Knevel & van den Brink [talkshow]. This was an
extraordinary experience. Again something else. But I much prefer
sailing alone.
I have finished my first-aid-course.
Yesterday I also did an extra course at “Rescue” that they gave just for
me. This was necessary and I learned a lot.
Today I also went sailing. During sailing the wind increased and the
boat was laying on its side. But it sailed very well. I have set the
Genua-sail and the main-sail. When the wind increased even more I
decided to pull down the Genoa-sail. Suddenly I heared a bang. The
eye of the rear part of the mainsail had busted. I could reef the mainsail
and continue sailing with the fock-sail. I decided to take down the
main-sail. With only the jib I sailed with this strong wind back to
the harbour. In short: It was a wonderful day of sailing. It is not that
bad that the main sail ripped apart, it was old anyway. The new sails
are nearly ready.
