The new sail has arrived!

After the mission to Quito, the new asymetrical spinnaker has arrived and we took it out for a test run yesterda afternoon. Superb sail, beautifully rigged, easy enough to use and is great for getting us trucking on in light winds.

I though I had to send a couple of pictures of the new sail against the sunset in Salinas.

Wish you were here!
