MF's World Cruise, Some thing learned.

[Searush]

Yes, I suppose when you tear around everywhere at almost 5 knots, those seconds spent waiting for the windless must seem like an eternity

I hit 7kts last weekend - with only a half a sail up. My point is click-clacking the lever to & fro for a few inches of chain seems daft when I can pull it up a meter at a time & I can feel when it is "up & down" & know exactly when it breaks out.

I guess you push a button in your greenhouse & in due course it sets in the bow roller. It may be easy, but there ain't much contact with reality for me in that.

Yep thats just about it, but done right, you know exactly whats going on.

What a good do. Found a bloke in Glasgow who knows all about winches, had spares as well.

He said, pull it to bits and clean it up, it should be fine.

So I did, got all the crud off the clutch and slapped it together.

Hooked the anchor round a pontoon cleat and draged the marina round a bit.

Good do!!
