From abeam

Sailing today with the wind from abeam true. Too edgy to fly the assy. 8 knots puffing to 12, maybe less. Had 8 knots top speed with the boat flat.
Unstable condition with showers poping at any time.
Decided to try the little passage between 2 islands. Better angle to fly the assy. The hoist was a mess. The clew was wrapping tight around himself. Suddenly during the time I cleaned everything, there was showers mushrooms all around. Went back to the club and escaped everything.
I was alone sailing my little sportboats and no motorboats around.

Sailing down the narrow river.
