Slip Sailing

[Cap Erict3]

I was walking the dock this morning and saw that my neighbors Genoa was full and nicely trimmed. The crew had sailed in a few hours earlier, had trouble with the roller furling and just went to bed and left the sail up.

It was a new one for me.

I can't even leave my awning up without whistling up the wind. Was is one of "that" brand o' boat?

Our neighbors just installed a new hot tub.

Methinks the rum ran out, or maybe they are newlyweds.

Often see people dock sailing when they put up the sail.

I've seen a few get ripped when catchs on a dock post or cleat but never saw one where the owner went to bed.

It was one of those astounding occasions.

We saw a 20 something footer the other day sailing at its mooring. The genoa was out, but it looked like the sheets had already torn off and the sail itself was getting caught with each tack and ripping itself free

I was dock sailing last weekend, I was trying to work some "bugs" out of the in boom furling, boom angle was way off and making minor angle adjustments is a whole lot easier at the dock. Once made I wanted to make sure the main was furling correctly.

A guy four slips down from us was dock sailing with the main up for two weeks. All wind directions too....just kept gybing.

You're not doing slip sailing right unless you are under FULL sail I say....
