Where has the time gone?
03 September 2012 | Buffalo, NY
I haven’t posted much; it’s been a busy summer. So just a recap, I’ve been trying to get out on the water 2-3 times a week when possible but you know how that goes. I’ve really enjoyed the time with family & friends on the boat, it really is priceless. Each trip out is a new learning experience, and I must say I’m feeling more and more comfortable in the different aspects of sailing & weather conditions. I understand that sailing will always be a learning experience. I‘ve been exploring the anchoring thing, tacking, points of sail, and different docking techniques. My only hiccup since the Father Day keel incident was a ripped Main Sail around the first batten, maybe 5 inches. Not sure the exact cause of this but it is now repaired and is back in action. Looking for a spider fix, having arachnophobia (not really) me & spiders don’t mix. I’m dealing with them pretty good as we now share the same space, however any suggestions would be great as to how I can rid my boat of them. As I read all blogs starting up or beginning their new seasons of snow birding, I must say I’m jealous. However I wish everyone the best of luck, good times and safe trips. One day that will be me.
