Well, I took the afternoon yesterday and went out with my friend on his boat, the first sail of the year. What a beautiful afternoon, sun, wind and sailing and to boot the engine was working much better (new fuel filter & carb).

We got off to a bit of a late start - we had to pressure wash all the grime off the boat - not a big deal, it feels better to sail a clean boat anyway. There was a bit more wind then we had thought, but we had the 100% jib up, a good call. There weren't too many boats out but we had a great 2 hour sail - hit 6.4 knots, not too shabby.

We still remembered how to sail, it's like riding a bike, even how to tie a bowline, the brain still works.
