While we began yesterday under sails, the winds diminished significantly and by dinner time we were instructed to bring in all the sails, which is no easy task! We had all 10 square sails on the main and foremast set, along with 2 staysails. Taking all that in required putting our hands on and pulling over 135 lines! By dinner time we were hungry!
