Sewing the Sails

Under way it sad to see your sails flapping around, beating themselves to death.  But with wear and tear from the wind, sun and salt water- canvas sails do get worn out.  Once a tear begins, it's only a matter of minutes or hours before it doubles in size. 
Here is a photo of me hand sewing sails in the middle of the ocean.
Once we got to the Abacos Islands, we found a sail maker on Man of War Cay.  I absolutely fell in love with his studio/work space.  Lots of natural light- what a dream.



Re-hoisting the sails- all patched up!
