Picked up my dad’s outboard motor from the repair shop, had some difficulty setting it evenly back on the dinghy, but finally got it to a satisfactory position - moving the motor tends to move the floating dinghy, and drags a separate rubber pad under it, so 3 things moving all at once when you need 2 to stay still- but things seem to be working! I had breakfast at my dads and headed back to a cenoura. I fiddled with the gennaker and this crane I found in the lazarette. I guess it was for hoisting the outboard I sold. Whole checking out the gennaker my well-respected-circumnavigating-neighbor saw me and said “put that f**king thing away dude. I never used mine and unless you have like 8 men to wrestle with it, you don’t want to fly it.” Well, so I stuffed it back in it’s bag. It looks awesome though.
I spent about an hour trying to hang the hammock correctly, and then enjoyed it. All this whole, Mia studied for about 12 hours for the bar and pretty much only stopped when I distracted her. We biked to dinner and passed out after that.
