she floats

Got the boat in the water and she floats no wind but some sun. A little too much sun but all in all a good day.

Cool, all of my best sailing days started off with a good float.

And thank goodness they all ended with a good float and a lot of floating in between.

First day I took my out from the dock. No wind. No motor. But I did have a paddle and I paddled her to the end of the long row of boats at the Marina and back to her slip with the back end pointing in and the bow pointed out. Made it easier to put the motor on the next time I came out and really took her out for a good 14 hour shake down cruse.

Thanks
Alan

Brian, That sounds like a perfect day of sailing if you have an ice chest full of your favorite beverage, a radio .... and one of these:
