Great Day Sailing

SHIP'S LOG:

I took the day off from putting ABISHAG back together and from helping with Club cleanup to go off sailing with Fred & Bob. Of course, the last time the three of us were sailing together, they were seasick and green and it was blowing stink. This time, on Bob's boat down at Milford, we had perfect weather and a great day sail. Bob basically designed and built the Boat himself and it is was wonderful piece of work. It is fast and responsive and a blast to sail, though being a true racing craft, it lacks amenities of any kind. Those are always the last things you add to a racing boat as the add weight to the boat and weight is the enemy of speed. All in all, it was a truly great day in every way. We will have to do it again.

Didn't need the bucket!
