Captain Megan

We had a very good sail on Sunday evening with Megan, our oldest daughter. We headed out around 4:30, and the wind picked up a bit at about 5:30 p.m.

Megan wanted to sail, so I have her the helm.



Principessa came along, looking like Jackie O.



Matthew bounced around the boat, alternatively telling Megan how to sail, then squealing at each tack or jibe.



We left the genoa up until the first bend in Bayou Castine, just to show off a bit.

We spent a lot of this trip doing maintenance, including installation of two blocks on the cabin top to route the main halyard aft to the cockpit. Made a couple of bids on used winches on ebay, so hopefully I'll have another winch to install next time. I also had a lot of cleaning to do for our guests this time.

Left Monday morning to return to Shreveport. Until returning to Mandeville, my hobbies are limited to growing heirloom tomatoes and home brewing beer. We hope to be sailing again in a couple of weeks, though.
