April 7, 2012: Beat Into B-more:

Hard beat up the Patapsco river into Baltimore. W / NW at a steady 20knts then gusting to 30 inside the Port Of Baltimore. 2.5 hrs from Jones creek to fort McHenery on reefed main and 110%. A loop or two around the inner harbor (enjoy video below) then back out. 1.5hrs from fort McHenery to Jones Creek on a wing and wing with wind subsiding to 12-15knts.

A small video and a few snapshots for the heck of it...

Tech: Some dodger issues when using reefed main. Dodger issues for traveler access as well. Old sheets sliding in new winch jaws... Dodger tweaks and new sheets needed.
