Super light

 

Feels like someone has turned the temperature down. It was 4.7 degrees yesterday morning when I was rigging the boat. But the forecast was for steady Westerlies below 10 knots, a good day for Bjorn's first sail on the Core Sound, and it warmed up as the morning progressed.

Bjorn took some nice photos of the getting the boat in the water phase. I usually have my hands full and too busy to take photos. Altona ramp was very peaceful, despite the blue skies and light winds. The wind must have seen us coming for it faded away pretty much as we motored out of the harbour.

Steve was out in his Impulse, and eventually ghosted over and came aboard for morning tea. 

Bjorn did a great job as both helm and expedition photographer, and I thank him for the photos. Despite lack of wind, it was a good outing.

When I got home and the Core Sound washed and put to bed, I put the second coat of epoxy on the interior of the Skerry. I got most of the epoxy where it was meant to go, but there were a few runs, and some wound up in the dog's fur, on my jacket, on my bench, down my right sleeve, over tools, etc. I think I was a bit tired. But it is becoming a boat I think.
