Day #9: Single handing seems to be about planning, or perhaps juggling. The helm demands constant attention. Every other job has to fit into the cracks. Fortunately not all helm time requires the same level of attention. Throttling back while putting out dock lines or doing the engine check helps too. I cruised Nellie almost 8-1/2 hours today. It wasn't as tiring as I thought it would be. Planning for and then executing all the other activities must have acted as a distraction ;-)
It was a quick 56nm from Southport, NC to South Myrtle Beach, SC today. The total now stands at 436nm. DBH
