Spring commissioning

Trip dates: 
Friday, April 26, 2024 to Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Trip length: 
6 days
Type of watercraft: 
Sail
  • Putting sails up in the slip
  • Launching the dinghy with outboard

We were able to put the sails up on an almost windless day, and were able to launch the dinghy with outboard attached on a different day. We were supposed to spend the first week of May somewhere on the Chesapeake, depending on wind direction. However, we discovered an error made by a mechanic over the winter and it took a couple of precious spring weeks to sort it out. And then we had weddings and other travel that delayed our spring sailing. Alas. Counting this entry as 6 of 10 days we are allowed to prep or close up our boat.
