Today, the wind was still very strong so we did not go ashore. Last night, J made a device to reduce the rolling of the boat, and named it ‘Le anti-roll device’ or ‘LARD’. It is simply using the Spinnaker Pole and the halyard to lift the submerged bucket on the side of the boat. When the side of the boat is rolling upward, the bucket pulls downward and the hull will stabilize quickly. It is quite effectIve. If the boat is is rolling next time, we will say ‘hang up the LARD’.
Tonight, I made a large pot of warm pumpkin soup to go with freshly baked bread.
