With no main sail on the rig, I decided to test my talent at using her oar.
She is a canoe after all !
But she is a sailing canoe and I failed miserably at beating the tide and the wind.
The solution was to restore her sailing capabilities with jib and mizzen. That was done rapidly (enough.) Still a bit of forward planning would have improved our looks. Of course Sheila was safely returned to her mooring.
I still have some maintenance work to do before she can sail again and I will be waiting for the new mail sail cover. Sheila will resume her sailing program in April or so.
