Yesterday after my last massage client, I decided to run over to the boat to take a nap, do some maintenance, continue the list of things to buy/replace and just to spend the last warm day in Seattle outside on the water.I ended up not taking a nap, the excitement of getting things ready to actually go out sailing taking over. The fact that I had about 4 hours of sleep last night not an issue.I got there and started the motor and warmed it up for a bit so that Lauren and I could motor out past the breakwater and float for a bit in the glass-calm water. I stopped it after a bit to wait for her and when she got back I couldn't start it again. I think we figured out what the first major purchase will be.
Instead, we hoisted the sails to practice, got hooked up to shore power, tied and untied things, and practiced bowlines. We also talked with our neighbors, who are very helpful and awesome. They helped us measure our mast, figure out how to restart our motor and offered us beer. We feel very lucky to have found the slip where we did.We're looking forward to sailing with Ben this weekend. Just gotta get our goretex out of storage.
