Pandora main and 135LP genoa
Sailed past a struggling Typhoon named Aeolian. Circled back to enqire. Aeolian had a single reef in, the gooseneck almost on deck, and several feet of the main out of the slot in the mast. Appears that they reefed and attempted to rehoist the main without ensuring that the luff bolt rope entered the slot. Instead, the bolt rope was pulled into the slot opening and became stuck to the extent that the crew aboard was unable to pull the main back down to free the bolt rope from the slot opening.
Sailed out and around an anchored bulk carrier Star Sirius.
Current flowing strongly down the Bay as we sailed around the Star Sirius:
