Reefing Test (Hurricane Earl, part 3)

    Saturday was a big adventure, and I needed to get back on the horse, so Sunday I headed out again. Though the wind was still strong, it wasn't bad. There were a few boats out, even 2 other Hobie cats.
    To be on the safe side I reefed the main sail, tying it down with parachute cord. Everything worked great. The 3 Hobies raced back and forth across the bay. Even with the reefed sail, I was light and equaled their speed.
