I finally did it – downhill both ways ☺ We had strong SW winds on Friday and I was going NW and we had strong NW winds on Sunday and I was going SW. Usually I get the reverse. I also had the unique issue of overtaking a car carrier. He was doing 13 knots coming up the channel, slowed down to about 8 passing me, and then hit reverse and stopped right in front of me. I had to call him to see which side was best to pass him on. This was also my longest time hand steering all year. Otto is very old and not so good at following seas.

Stayed overnight and enjoyed the quiet and solitude, having the whole marina to myself. It dropped into the 40's and everyone else went home. Today I stayed in the slip because of the cool weather and gusty 20+ winds. No boats went sailing. Instead I finished a few projects and started few more, and made some new friends helping them with their boats. I always learn new techniques, watching how others do things. Found a lot of play in my steering last time out, so I tightened the cable and lubed it. Found a teaspoon of rust under the pedestal, so I think it's due for a new idler sheave mounting plate? That's probably why the cable got loose? I could only find complete assemblies for $450 online. All I need is the plate. The sheaves and uprights are fine. Has anybody else replaced theirs? I'd like to get a bronze one.

Great day out on the water though; 9.8 knots downwind (until I chickened out as the wind went forward and broaches started to get more frequent and more violent), 6.3 up in 28-35 apparent (one major round up on a big shift we didn't spot coming). We had relatively flat water, sunshine and lots of wind - great end to the season!
