⛵😲 OUR FIRST SAIL IN A YEAR!!!
🕑 Added 2025-04-17 04:24:33 +0000 UTCWow!! So we took Sharmila out for a sail and a motor to see how she's doing after being on the hard for so long - and she's flying!! No issues with the sails or with the engine. She is a little quieter when motoring now that we've replaced the engine mounts and aligned the shaft. Only thing is.. We are a bit rusty! I am anyway, remembering procedure and lines and what does what goes where and how! 😵💫
Our new motto on the boat is: NO RUSH, NO PANIC. 🏃💨❗🚨
The first day we motored and anchored, which gave us time to monitor with sight, hearing, and smell how Sharmila is doing mechanically.. Checking the plotters, GPS, and radios were working..
The second day we pulled out the genoa and mainsail, taking note the condition of the sails and rigging. And giving ourselves time to grow familiar after being away from the boat for so long!!
We had the best sail. I loved it. We had some fun posing and snapped some pics for you to enjoy. 😃
