We were finally able to try out the sailboat the other day. It was supposed to blow 10-15 ENE but when we got to the lake it was pretty calm. This was nice because it allowed us time to paddle out a couple hundred yards, raise the sails, and try to figure out what we were doing. Small gusts would come by every now and then and would get us all excited and moving. After about an hour the wind started blowing more consistantly around 10 mph and we were having a blast.
It was nice to see all that hard work and time paying off on the water. I thought she handled quite nicely. I feel like I could handle the whole thing by myself next time so I should be able to take Isaiah . I know he will love it.( even though he said sailboats are slow and boring)
Check out the short vid of the maiden voyage.
