Took a day off deck work (deck’s almost done but still have the patio to do) to put sluff together and take her for the first sail of the summer.  I called up a buddy of mine from the photo forum who also sails (and also has a new kid and understanding wife) and he helped me put the everything together (zero issues which was nice).  Then we went out for a nice sail all afternoon.  Wind started out light, then went to nothing, then the sea-breeze filled in and we had an awesome afternoon.  Our max speed for the day was 12.7kt with the longest sustained speed of 12.1 for 30 seconds.  Those were both against the tide, so we were probably going a knot faster?

these 2 videos will show up soon enough, youtube’s processing them right now:
