So yesterday we got the fishing rod out, but the clicker was broken (another thing broken, it seems a boat is like a summer shack, you're always fixing things). The day was magnificent and calm, I was able to take good pictures and videos. The was is so blue it's incredible. Around dinner, the wind picked up and then the fun started. We cooked spaghetti (propane is fixed) and I must say that fortunately the stove moves with the heel because there would've been some everywhere. After dinner, the boat was moving very fast; since the Marcotte have a little competitive side, we decided to keep the full sails and keep an high speed. I had two watches last night and Jean showed me how to better steer the boat, so most of the times I was "divin" it by hand and it was really fun. We need to keep the boat "on the edge" where there is too much sail for the conditions, a little too much into the wind and the boat wants to go up, and not enough then the min sail can flip on the other side (dangerous). We had 20-25 knots of wind and were managing 8.5 knots with nice surfing time. It was like being in the Volvo Ocean Race. After about two hours you are very tired and I also found out new muscles in my shoulders. The wind is supposed to stay strong today so we will likely keep it the same for the day. yeee haaaa! (or "yaaa hoooo" for the Calgarians)
