Let the season begin!

Took the Frary family out for a daysail and first of the season Great Misery barbeque. The weather and sailing was great. Eric took the wheel for part of the sail out and proved to be a natural helmsmen. Now he wants Dad to buy him a boat. It is great to be back on the water again after the long New England winter.

Swells made for bumpy sail. Also had to wait most of the afternoon for the fog to lift.

All the same we had a nice visit and spent time poking around the shops.

For dinner we grilled steaks on the boat, and then went out for ice-cream and elephant ears.
