Tonight I was treated to a particularly long and beautiful sunset. It was as if the clouds did not want to surrender their reflected glory from the Sun to the coming night. Instead of fading from salmon, to grey to black they seemed to cling, almost desperately, to the last glimmers of the Sun's rays. It was not unlike the fading embers from a barbeque reluctantly surrendering their gloroius flame to oblivion.
Today was pretty busy. I gave TORRID an oil change, installed a new sparkplug in the generator and put up a new head sail. I decided to let my brave little jib rest for a while and put up a Genoa instead.
A Genoa is a lighter but larger headsail. I'm anxious to give it a try. It looks pretty nice. It was a real chore puttin up the sail by myself. I wouldn't want to do it in a rough sea, alone.
Tomorrow I hope to finish my preparations and FINALLY get back to sailing. I intend to go over to nearby Bounty Island where I hope to spend a few days.
The picture is of a very nice, lingering, sunset.
