Trip Log: Outrigger Canoe Sailing the California Channel Islands

Step 6 Haste Maketh Waste!

Before long there was a lot of cloth scattered around on the floor. I cut a patch to reinforce one corner of the sail. Then when I went to sew the next corner I found out where I'd cut the patch from. Oh nooo! OOps! Fortunately patch material was abundant, and this sail is patched and repaired a couple of different ways before it's ever used. Yep, stronger in the broken places, and what kills you doesn't make you stronger, and when you die in real life the dream stops, or something like that. What happened to my brain?

It couldn't be dumpster donut psychosis, I would never eat something that seagulls wouldn't eat...

This sail only has three sides and three corners, how long can it take to sew it?
Well, if the sewing machine sews at .5 miles per hour, and the sail has 4 miles of stitching in it....

Finally the sail is done!
