Theres so much stuff in the boat, theres not enough room for us. We'll sort it out when we get to the lake.
I'll be leaving it at the lake for a few weeks while I get everything sorted out and fix what needs fixing.
Once were comfortable with the boat and stowing everything and towing it, we'll be off to explore Delaware bay, great bay, barnaget bay, chesapeak bay and who knows where else.
I hope theres wind . I'll be posting pics sunday or monday .
I probably won't sleep much tonight. I'm like a kid at christmas.
wish me luck!

Have a great opening season sail.....

I'm jealous, and land locked for a few more weeks

Have a great sail. Don't forget lunch and drinks. You shouldn't have a problem for lack of wind. Even on the calmest of days it will seldom be windless where you are planning to sail. At a minimum you should have light offshore winds in the morning and moderate on shore winds in the afternoon.

About that list. Don't forget to have a warning device like a portable air horn. There will most likely be many other boaters out for there for their first boating day also. Have a lot of fun. Brad
