Repairs Underway

 

On any boat there are always little jobs to do - whipping lines, small repairs and such.  This day it was re-stitching the leather cover on the wheel.  Once again we were powering along with the autohelm steering so the wheel could be removed for better access.

There was plenty of time for that job as well as some other nautical pursuits such as practicing knots and taking measurements to make a dity bag.

Some Calm Sketching

 

Lake Ontario can be windy and rough, but mid-summer is as likely to be dead calm.  On our recent trip to and from the Thousand Islands from Toronto, we had both extremes, often from one day to the next.  I prefer to sail, but chugging along under power with autohelm steering, is another reason to have a sketch book on hand.
