first sail of the year

It was a mild day, the spinnaker went up, the breeze was steady - a perfect day.
Of course, a perfect day has its little kinks: we ripped the screacher in the head, forgot the fluids that contain spirits, and my shoes were too tight.
The highlight of the day was a good sized hump back whale - or grey whale - that accompanied us for a while. A sleepy sea-otter was not interested in us when suntanning its feet. The bold eagles showed off their young ones. The world seems to be in order?

launching Hi5



Every year it takes us longer: Launching Hi5 in May 2012 - finally. Hi5 got new Lexan Windows, all leaks fixed, anti-fouling paint re-newed, waxed, polished, cleaned ... everything now ship shape.
