Just about perfect

It was such an amazing day to sail today. I was apprehensive about going out on the water just a day after some crazy summer thunder storms, but it turned out to be unfounded. We had beautiful weather and good wind coming from the south. Joe, Dave and I rigged up the new boat and hull #3 while we waited for Andrzej to show up with his brother Jerzej (spelling?) with the safety boat. Once we got out on the water I handed the tiller to Joe and did some rig tuning. As I was tensioning and adjusting the boom, I noticed the mast had a nice curve to it. Is this normal?

The wind was a bit fitful at times, but we made decent time getting to the crowded Illahee pier. A few fishermen reluctantly made some room for our moorage.

We found a nice shaded table with a peekaboo view of our proud little boats. We wanted to keep a close eye on them because we weren't going to take any chances with our new boat getting stolen again, haha.

After Andrzej cheerfully forced some polish sausage and cheese on us, we were back on our way home. After dodging the landmine-like scattering of crabpots near the pier, it was clear down wind sailing. We caught the 180 wind shift just as we rounded the bend toward the marina. I may have gotten a  little more sun than expected, but that's not a bad thing.
