This morning I fixed the name onto the stern of the Skerry, and after lunch walked Derry down to the beach in front of the yacht club. Anne did the honours, very eloquently, and the boat, the sea, and the assembled humans all got a good splosh of Tullamore Dew.
Then Anne, Oz and I went for a row.
Derry feels reassuringly stable and rows very nicely. I was mighty pleased.
Jess and Chris went for a spin next, and then another they liked it so much.
Andrew from the WBA was riding past. I got him to row so I could try out the stern seat, and very comfortable it is too.
I had a quick lap by myself using the centre seat. The oars are set up for that station, and the boat really hoots along.
Tomorrow I am going to try the sail rig.
