First sail of the season!

It's been a cold winter, even here in Florida. The only good days we've had were work days for me. So, yesterday I got her out for the first time this year. Just a little morning solo sail for about four hours. I would have stayed all day but I had to work in the afternoon.

Wife got me leaving the dock:

Got passed by the D. W. Crow but she was under power.
