Went out yesterday (Saturday) for the first sail of the season. After a few face-slapping, idiotic, I-should-know-better moments (like forgetting to uncleat the furling line when unfurling the genoa), we had a great time! The wind was blowing pretty hard and we probably should have reefed the main, but just plodded on from Oyster Bay, NY, to Stamford, CT. We pulled in to Brewer's Yachts East where they charged us $35 to tie up for lunch!

We returned across the sound in no time on a very pleasant, even keeled beam reach the whole way. We watched the weather over Connecticut change for the worse as we sailed away towards Long Island in the south.

What a wonderful start to the season . . .

Rich, we have all had moments like that, whether it be first of season, middle or end! Sounds like a great day with many more to come.

Congratulations! $35 to tie up is modern day piracy!

Had our second "sail" of the season on Saturday. I was very impressed that the OB started right up on the first pull. It never did that for me last year!
