Launched

Mercedes was launched yesterday!  She's happy to be back in the water.  Safely tied up in her slip at West Basin Marina now.  This marina is well protected and picturesque, and does not have the river current of Anchor's Way Marina!  

 Karen and I really appreciate the help by Kim, Dave, and Brett in sorting out dock lines, cleaning, stowing gear, and rigging yesterday!

 Look for your sailing gear!  Plan is to go sailing this weekend.

    Giddy-up!! Maybe we can race Dandelion, Silk and Sea Raider since they are the only other boats in so far.:-)

      We have been enjoying sailing Mercedes and learning how to let the racehorse have her reins. She is powerful and fast, cuts through waves with stability, has a light helm, and steers like a sports car - a lot like Aria!

    Glad you got to launch and are able to sail. We can't launch due to flooding. All docks are underwater. But we are waxing and redoing all the teak. Sanding and painting the bottom. Hopefully we can launch before July 4th. ��
