Title: Finally got to sail
Post by: jotruk on July 28, 2019, 09:36:32 AM
Well after heath problems and storms, bad  flooding and damage to the bow ( fixed now) I was finally able to get out and about on the boat yesterday and really enjoyed it. the wind was light and we only got up to about 4 kts but it was fun and I am ready to go again but that will be later in the week.

I can imagine it was sweet to feel the boat underway after the troubles...
Congrats on getting mobile again.
Have fun.

Grog! :D

Was at a beachhouse birthday party this past Sunday, and someone down the beach had a Hobie 16 that they were running off of the beach. Made me think back to my 15 or so years as a hardcore H16 sailor - what fun boats and I sailed 10's of thousands of miles on them! In my daydream, they pulled up in front of us and let me have a crack at it for a bit...

But you weren't daydreaming, and that's even better! ;D
