Took long enough, there are only a handful of boats left to go in. (handful of sailboats I should say, those stinkboaters still think the season is only from memorial day to labor day!!)

Took her for a nice 3 mile run inside the break wall, past the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and back. (U2 can pay 20 bucks to see Janis Joplins drawers.)

The wind was blowing so we went with a little 90% jib and full main. What a difference a year makes; I thought I was in a different boat. I attribute that to the 12 gallons of water that was trapped under the sole* that we never new about. And I used to think it was because we didn't have a balanced rudder!!



<font size=1>*we figured that rain water that had collected over the 10 year period she sat on the hard collected around the mast. Normally the water would run aft to the large bilge area when put in the water, but we found that to be blocked up by leaves and debris. If you recall from previous rantings, the boat sat in the back of a boatyard without hatchboards for 10 years. We didn't find all this mess until this past year when we found the dry rot on the compression post. We now have two inspection plates in the cabin sole.</font id=size1>

Can't wait to try the new 150% sail tonight.
