Batteries, barges & overboard phones

Lindy Thibodaux

When we were getting ready to take out a new Island Sailing Club boat, we had an unplanned lesson on batteries, fortunately before we left the dock. Out on the river, it was more wing-on-wing action to go with the winged keel on Leucothea, as we maneuvered around a huge barge. It was a great day to be out, despite the additional excitement (??) of my phone slipping overboard— a first for me, hopefully the last (knock on teak). Hence this semi-accurate manual entry— I was the one recording our sail.
