All hooked up and ready to go

Across the road and down over the hay field we arrive at the launch site

Stepping the mast

Installing the bowsprit

Adjusting the shrouds

Checking the rigging

Loading the spars & sails

Sails are up and in she goes!

Every move we make is watched by “Theo”

Installing the motor

And off we go for the first sail

Heading down the bay

“So how come they didn’t take me along?”

Returning home

Nessie’s berth on the edge of the marsh
