Day 2 was similar to Day 1 - a long run down the Land Cut, but with the significant
difference of sailing through Baffin Bay. Since the start and end points
were well known, I took off with my 60sqft sail up and scooted out ahead.
Crossing the bay got a little hairy, so I reefed down to 40sqft and
continued. It is VERY important to be able to reef from inside your
boat, while on the water. For me, it is as simple as tying 2 knots and
takes less than 5 minutes (of course, I screwed even that simple operation
up, but it was easily corrected.)
Day 2 has more significance as well: It is the last convenient day
to pull out, and after this day, things get significantly more difficult.
(something I didn't tell the others until it was time for bed)
