Shake Down Sail on the Passamaquoddy Bay



Wharfy ready to loosen the sheets should
a gust happen...

Another beautiful weekend weather wise.  We had a steady 10-15 knot wind from the Southwest both on Saturday & Sunday.  Had a chance to stretch her legs and we sailed about 16NM practicing putting in a reef or two.  After sailing we drifted for about an hour and enjoyed a roast chicken dinner with the fix'ens.  Great way to end the weekend.  Looks like mid-July for departing for a little cruise around to SW Nova Scotia.  Looking forward to that!  Wharfy the Cat seemed not to mind the sail either...he figure out that he's most comfortable on the berth aft the Nav Station when we are beating into the wind.  His furry paws make it funny to watch when he tries to walk on the wooden cabin sole as he slips to the lee side. Should make for good company on the cruise. Still haven't got him reading charts or the radar yet....though he would like to claim the spot for afternoon snoozes.



Fair Winds...
