The First Sail

After a bit of a slow start (I blame Herr Reidle), I was raring to go by the time Long Juan came over. It had been a damp and overcast morning, but it got bright and breezy as forecast, just like myself. A good beat up the Forth to the west end of Inchcolm, and then a fast blow back. And the boat was a joy! I even got the mainsail hauled up from the cockpit, which I'd never done before. And Cap'n M's patented reefing system worked just beezer, so it did. Happy day!
Righty, I've a chinwag with MrMcC and Phigbill at 8pm to arrange a fishing trip, and then it's down to the Sample Room to see the AWRY psychegaelic cèilidh band. But tonight, I mustn't overdo it. Naw.
