I can’t thank my friend Les enough for taking Karen and I out on his 36’ Catalina, Troubadour. I believe it is the largest sailboat that I’ve been on so far and certainly the largest that I’ve sailed. First time I’ve sailed with a wheel vs a tiller. Not much wind but had a blast!

Mattox Creek sail with Karen

Karen at the helm.

Went out with Karen for a sail on Mattox Creek but unfortunately the wind became almost nonexistent, so we motored around for a bit. It was still fun.
