We awoke early in the am, as I generally do. I forced Amy up and out of bed. I asked if she thought that her and I could handle the boat on our own. At 7am there was no one on the water which may save us some embarrassment. This social precaution was not needed, as we did great. We sailed for two hours before we saw any other sailboats round the corner from the cove. We headed that way knowing that Karl and Barbie would be worried that we were stranded or drowned. They were nice enough to sail with just their 150 Genoa (a head sail that laps over the main sail by 50%) which allowed for us to keep up. They took some great pics as you can see above of Barely Awake with full sails. 2hr later we headed back into the cove after Karl's boat "Second Wind" and headed for the boat ramp.

Please allow me the opportunity to highlight my boating experience. I HAVE NONE!! I have only backed up a trailer once or twice with a boat on it. That being clarified, Amy and I did pretty well removing Barely Awake from the lake. 30min later her mast was down and we were heading back home after leaving her at the boat yard to have her swing keel fixed. As soon as we dropped her off we missed her and wanted to spend more time on the lake, but we had a class reunion to get to.

Bravery is knowing that something scares you, and still doing it.
