Default on the tiller!

U CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH BOAT PORN! BBY is that U in the hatch? AKTUNG overrides the auto tiller Off Mare Island's North San Frncisco Bay-Carquinez Strait. The multi-line 'wuzzle' on the port cleat is the jib sheet and the 'Jibe 'preventer' line from the bow cleat to the boom end...A new install to keep the boom from snapping over in shifty-dicey aft El Niņo winds! I'm wearing a hardshell plastic skullcap under the hat in case I don't duck in time. At $5.00, a cheap investment considering boom-hits have killed 10 sailors this year alone.
