The GPS stopped tracking speed on the return leg. Which had some of the best wind and speed. Shadow Fox recorded winds around 18 knots. Sure I was going faster on that leg than on the way up to the bridge.
A problem trying to roll in the jib. The furler did not want to cooperate. Leaving the jib half out. Made for a fun docking experience, or, rather a controlled crash! Not a problem with controlling into the dock. However, there is a guard fence sticking out which I hit :) I had raised the center board so I had more control with the outboard. But, the result was I side slipped as approaching the dock and hitting the metal fence! Well, I know better now. No major damage to the boat apart from nicks and scratches to the rub rails. Which did their job well. I will have to sand them down and apply new varnish.
