So the whisker pole has been up all day. The wind increased and I thought we better take down the Genoa and replace it with the staysail especially since evening is approaching. We went through the order of how to take it down and it seemed we knew what we were doing. Start furling the sail in and then unhook the pole from Genoa sheet, reattach it to the mast chalk. Well, all of a sudden I can’t furl in the sail. It’s not budging. Sails are slapping, as well the topping lift is also not working. Hmm, has to be related! I follow the topping lift halyard up with my eyes and notice that the topping lift halyard is furled in with the Genoa sail. Ok, easy! Just unfurl it and redo but this time I need to make sure topping lift halyard is tight and not making its way into a furling sail…. Overall a good day! Big waves but nice wind! Good night world!
