Stowing & Shakedown

Today we took all of the stuff we brought to make this a home. Lynette was the star who made order out of chaos. Then we went for a sail to ensure everything stays put. 'Ship shape' means you can get under way and have everything you need. She is ship shape. We were in building winds today on the San Francisco Bay started 12-14 kts and built to 18-20 with gusts to 22kts. We put in a reef and sailed at 8.3kts very comfortably. Tim also setup the Monitor wind vane to test how that works. It was amazing, We did not have to touch the helm until we needed to course change. That is the only way to fly when you're doing longer passages. Click the pics in the gallery.
