Finally had a nice warm and breezy day to go sailing after getting Slip Stream recomissioned. Saw a number of ships and tugboats and observed the progress on rebuilding the Key Bridge.

New bimini for Fahrfrumwurken
Did a short sail on Charlotte Harbor to make sure that the new bimini on Fahrfrumwurken does not interfere with the mainsheet when sailing. It worked fine and provides more clearance from the boom than the old bimini.
