We finally did it! Rather than having to spend 3-4 hours setting up before going sailing we got a slip in a local marina! This summer we will be able to head down to the boat after work and go for a sail – just like all the other people we always envy on those perfect summer evenings. Of course this means we will not be traveling as far as usual but since we will be busy working in the field there will be less time for long outings anyway. We had originally planned a long trip to Desolation Sound for this summer but work schedules and non-sailing vacation plans threw a wrench into those plans.
After launching the boat on Friday and spending the night at our swanky new marina we went for a bit if a weekend sail up the river to Government Island. Since there was no wind we tried our luck at fishing but it turns out we are rather unlucky in that respect. I swear, there are NO fish in this river! It seems summer still has not reached us and on Sunday we got rained out.
We had gotten so used to having the boat safely in the driveway we checked the lines ten times before leaving the marina. Monday after work we went right back to check on her and even went for a quick sail.
