Roller fuller... Harken and it looks to be in good shape. However we have tried to use it twice and it has fouled twice. An old salty was talking to me today about it and he thinks the sail is actually too big for the boat or maybe he meant the fuller. It's a 180 jib. So, if that is the problem we are thinking of sending it in to a sail refit place and having them trim it down to a 150 and put the sunbrella material on the ends as right now it is fully exposed.
Thoughts? Suggestions on where to send it. I hear if we send it in now we can get it back pretty soon. Wait til winter and it takes a long time.
Otherwise we had a good weekend. Learned how to pump out the waste... Learned to fill holding tank with water.. Learned we have an air lock on our pressurized system and that the water heater probably has a bad element.
Fresh coffee in the cockpit morning and evening was great! Never mind the 3:30 am storm that drove us to the car for two hours...

If it's going to happen, its going to happen out there!!
