After an on / off night the wind switched on this morning and stayed on! I'm still close hauled (sailing to the weather). The sea state is very confused - so the motion is quite entertaining...

Had a minor panic when the bilge alarm went off. I could see the bilge flooded and hear the pump running. Not a nice site! Fortunately it was a combination of the pump cavitating (maybe) and the water ingress was via the centerboard packing joint. I'd really like to talk to the man at Alden that thought it was a good idea to put one in a very narrow but very deep (>40 inches ) bilge. It is nigh on impossible to tighten. I've slowed the leak sufficiently...

The catnap thing seems to leave me trying to catnap all day...
