The Maiden Voyage !!!!!

The sailboat went our for the first time today!

It was a really windy day, Sandi and I took it out around noon, a short trip because the wind was really strong.

then Steve, Rick and I took it out for a 3 hour cruise, we had it really going, over 11 kph and she was over to the gunnel at times.

Here she is in the slip! (with Steves White Siren in the slip next to it)

Blame it on Clive!!!!!

Well I guess Clive isn't totally at fault....... But he did get me hooked on sailing.....

So what happens to every budding sailor.... They want bigger boats, Well I'm no exception...

On the weekend went to Orangeville and bought this 18 Foot Gulf Coast....

it needs a bit of help but will be a good project over the summer..... It is rigged and in the water but I haven't had a chance to sail it Yet!!!!
