First Sail Of 2010

Blithe Spirit went back in the water on Good Friday after an intensive week of maintenance. After a horrible wet morning the sun came out as soon as she was lifted in- Surely a good omen!

A day spent sorting her out and bending on the sails on Easter Monday, and we were ready for out first trip of the season. A quick overnight trip to Newtown River, on the Isle of Wight, in strongish winds, proved that the boat was as it should be.

Concerned that good weather is around the corner and we might miss our opportunity for a longer trip/cross channel, we came home to make some preparations- and collect our passports!

Although we are missing some fine weather today!

We could be setting off in the next day or two.
