Raced in my twenties and thirties, did what I was told and knew nothing about sailing but loved the rush of the her heeling and speeding through the wind! Now retired, bought a 23’ Merit Sprint and been dreaming of costal cruising. Active in NauticEd and SailTies. Two awesome resources.

Clean up all the lines took down the sails- removed the Boom then had the mast stepped for winter storeage and some upgrades. NMEA2000 and some new B&G instruments Got some docking practice in while we waited for our turn at the sea wall. Jilly the Admiral has been doing awesome at the helm. So proud of her!!

Genoa only bc the main is being repaired. Good blow tonight. It’s our 9th wedding anniversary and the Admiral has taken on sailing like an ole salt. My favorite by a mile to sail with.

Thought the wind was picking up so we went out for a quick sail after some boat work! (My favorite type of day!!) Wind wasn’t there, Billy helmed and did an excellent job. Practice raising and lowering the main- had the job out for a brief moment. Looking forward to the next few days wind is picking up!!

A quick sail in a good blow and the Admiral slayed it at the helm. Gaining confidence, I am extremely proud of her. She is a badass!!
