I have been sailing every chance I get. The weather has been a pain.
I made it to Sindbads. It was freezing, wind and I hit everything in the marina. I gave up and backed the boat in. you need a ladder to get off the boats the docks are so high. I bent my bow pulpit and lost my clamp on light but had a blast.
My kids loved it.
My 5 yo sailed it, she is going to be a pro. I ran aground for the first time. I was wat,hi.g the sails and didn't notice where I was. I got too close to Peche Island. We got it off ok. I nailed a can broadside last week. I thought I had enough speed but I was wrong. The current on the Detroit river is pretty fast.
The fireworks were great. We anchored out and went swimming In Lake St. Claie. Tiffany sailed it back in and did a great job.
No major trips yet but it was fun. The boat is solid and sails well. She likes wind and can hold her own in stronger winds.
