Sailing was amazing last Saturday. Good winds and the boat handled well. The sheets and winches are set differently than our previous craft. And then there is the wheel steering. The traveler is on top of the cabin roof and needs lubrication. And the winch handles foul with the Bimini straps. I have to figure out a different set up.
With all that it is taking some time to get used to it. Our tacks were pretty sloppy, but we got them done without looking like newbies. Or going into irons.
AC on the boat finally works. And so does the head. Friday and Saturday were pleasant nights with the Grandkids asleep below and me and the missus falling asleep in the cockpit watching Mars float by in the country sky.
Sunday morning Cathy took the kids to see their mom in Tulsa so I had the day to myself. Got the shed built Sunday in the heat, took a nap in the AC cool cabin, and then a shower about 5:00 PM. Headed home.
Without Cathy or the kids the trip took only four hours. Nice.
Three cats waiting at the door and glad to see me. I was glad to be home.
Five no shows this morning at work.
Must be Monday. Damn!
