Acrostic for October

Solution to the September acrostic

"In the early hours of her tenth night at sea the boat wakes her with a new noise. She furls the jib to roughly half its full surface then struggles into her harness, clips on, and goes to the mast to free the main halyard and drops two reefs worth of mainsail into the lazy jacks. The boat slows, quietens."
