First Sail

 The morning shows promise with clear skies....

Early morning sun kissed the newly applied vinyl graphics on the stern...

The morning was still a bit cool but a fairly steady breeze allowed us to attempt sailing with the headsail (I believe our headsail is a "jib") with lots of learning still to do.  We did get along at a pretty good clip at times---up to 5.7 knots.  Pretty much all downwind but next time we will attempt the mainsail and the headsail at the same time!!!


Map chip ordered so we know exactly where we are!!!
