Finally!

On the last weekend of our vacation, the water was finally low enough that we thought we could try to step the mast.  With a little help from some friends, the mast went in smoothly, and we could finally get the season started!  As vice-commodore, I get to fly a special burgee this season, and it was wonderful to hoist it up the halyard for the first time.

We put the mast in Saturday afternoon, and got the sails on Sunday morning.  The weather was perfect for our first sail of the season, on Sunday afternoon, July 30.  Better late than never.
