We went out on our first overnighter / shakedown cruise last weekend. I'm happy to report that all went well! No serious loss of life and nothing broke. We made ice and Bacchus was warm! Our good friends and boating partners Logan and Meira were kind enough to come along and prevent me from crashing into any docks. We headed out on Saturday morning with enough wine aboard to cause a serious list. After clearing Fairfax Point on Morseby Is., we had a very civilized sail to Poet's Cove Resort. I crossed off an item from the 'bucket list' when I went ashore for a massage. Never done that before! The steam grotto was great too! Other friends Angus and Sandy joined the four of us for dinner in the resort and had us over to their new summer cabin for a great breakfast on Sunday morning. No wind showed up on Sunday afternoon so we motored over to Sidney Spit to meet up with Invitation II and Eagle III for an afternoon cocktail! I was in shorts and a tee shirt all afternoon, which is good for May 1! I'll take a lot more of the same! Please!! Check out my new photo gallery for more pictures and try my google earth position.
