Cleaning the boat
It's important to have a clean hull for the race - it not for anything else, then just not to have an excuse afterwards ("I was slower because my boat was dirty") 😉
This late afternoon, we took out Jedi, moored it to one of the buoys outside the port, jumped into the water (what a relief in this heat!!), and together with my sister - an accomplished offshore sailor herself! - cleaned with (fairly) soft sponges the hull, the keel and the rudder. Actually, the boat seemed quite clean already. The whole operation was quite fast. And seating on the bulb under the hull was fun!
