I liked the small island Grimsey in your previous episode. Tiny but with about 30 homes, an airport, a small harbor. I'm trying to imagine what life is like there.

Wow, I had some déjà vu while watching that gennaker douse. Once I was caught solo on my 27 sailing downwind with a spinnaker and in a state of bliss. In that state and with little apparent wind I didn’t realize the wind speed had increased to 22 knots. Thats the moment my tiller pilot began to malfunction so I disconnected it, engaged a tiller tamer and went forward after balancing the helm as best I could.
During the douse the boat turned so the main no longer shadowed the spin and while I was pulling it done on the deck, the wind caught it and turned it into an uncontrollable monster trying to escape my grip. It took a pretty long time and at least 3 crash gibes, and I thoroughly exhausted myself but I managed to bring it all down.
In your video you looked like I felt after that sail was down!

Who but Erik would feel at home on the northern shores of Iceland?

As Erik knows we shouldn’t leave these light downwind sails up when the wind picks up and we must furl them under control with the furling line and sheet working in balance under tension. That was a difficult situation indeed; if the sail had fouled the rudder and propeller the rocks were waiting.

Sorry mate we all learn from our mistakes ..before furling it's a good idea to tension the halyard so furling is easier and also when you had the tangle of the furler I would have turned the boat to windward the genica would have dropped on deck..much easier ..

I notice no harness for working at the bow. I also am a singlehand sailor, and actually only harness up on occasions like this … working with sails in rougher weather. I know it is a personal decision but I expect you get plenty of comments on that.
