Great sail to Bahia Los Friales

Today everything worked well. We started out with full sails and the winds came up so we reefed (made the main-sail smaller). It came up more so we did a second reef in the main-sail and reefed the jib. Then the winds calmed down and were behind us so we put up the asymetrical spinnaker.

Our spinnaker was working well in about 12 knots of wind from behind.

This was our first test of some rigging modifications I made in La Paz to the spinnaker pole in front, making it easier to setup and take down. The mods worked well. 

This was one of those days where you are working on skills that you have practiced before and things just click. We dropped anchor in Bahia Los Friales, a bit tired (all that sail handling is a lot of physical work) but very happy.
