We enjoyed our long awaited sea trial by sailing (actually) motoring from our work site in Oxford, MD on the Eastern Shore back to our home marina on the Western Shore. We got a late start going over as we had to make a few adjustments and then we started our return late as well as we tried to get as much done as possible on our old boat. Because of that we returned into darkness and cold as the sun sank further to the south and to the west.

But it was great to finally get out on the water and see how this new boat handles. She did well and in spite of the cold, wind, low water and darkness was able to get in and out of 2 relatively unknown slips without leaving paint on the pilings.

Now, we're packing for our road trip and when we return with any luck we will be headed toward the sun.
