Charm - Day 12

Just a short entry because my watch is over and it's time to sleep. The winds were higher and gustier during my watch so I had to pay more attention than usual. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough attention because, during a lull, the spinnaker wrapped around the forestry. I had to call Joe out and then we had to wake up Kent to come help. Joe drove by the lee (for you sailors out there) and, with a bit of pulling on the sheets, it eventually unwrapped and Kent snuffed it. There was lots of excitement with gibing the main, pulling lines in and out, shining lights, etc. It went well - no damage to people or property and we got the gennaker out and have maintained our speed with less drama from the sail.

Tim has denied all charges of covert produce consumption. He did remind me that he carried almost all the stuff back from the market and hinted that maybe I wasn't aware of the starting quantities of everything. We have asked Cobin to listen for any unusual sounds coming from Tim,s bunk during the night. Tim did also mention that I should probably do a better job of monitoring cookies and gummy bears. Hmmm. I might have better things to do but maybe not. Perhaps we will set a trap . . .
