Spent the night at Marina Key. The balls appear in reasonable shape but did not appear to be maintained. Wind stayed in the 18 to 20 knot range. Watched several grossly over canvased boats trying to sail upwind. Reefing is based on apparent wind. The boat will sail much better reefed and the rig will appreciate it. Takes a extra 2 or 3 minutes to put a reef in hoisting the main. I also saw the interesting technique of rolling out the jib and then trying to hoist the main. Not sure how much life was left in the jib after they finished!
We are at the baths now. 3 boats here at 8:45. Seems like 25 years ago! I am guessing half the balls are missing. In general all the day use balls appear to be in terrible condition and no one servicing them. Oil nut bay is the plan for the night.
