reefing- weather 20 - 25Knots, 5'-8'waves with sets up to 12'. perfect for reefing and heaving to

Blustery day for John, Anna and Kristen to become familiar with Celtic Song's reefing system, staysail and running backstays.  We heaved to in 60' of water and 8'-12' waves and the ride was calm and steady.  Crew performed super.  Knots we applied today were bowlines, rolling hitches, square, round turn and two half hitches, and slippery hitch.
