Well, the day LOOKED great so off to Keyport went the Reenie K and I.
Tide was out, so launching was a bit of a challenge (thank you to the guy who helped push the boat off the trailer.
I launched at 12:00. At 3:00, I had not cleared Keyport Harbor! There was no wind at all for most of the time. I got as far as I did by motoring out and trying to catch a breeze. It looked like there might have been some wind near Staten Island, but I really didn't want to motor that far.
I did test a makeshift set of lazy jacks and they're going to work I think. Sunday and Monday, I'll install the real versions. Lazy jacks are lines that hold the sail when you raise or lower the main sail. Right now, I'm rolling the sail around the boom to get it out of the way. It's a real challenge when the wind finally does blow.
Of course, I'll take some pictures
