First Overnight on the Water It’s a nice evening on Lake DuBay in central Wisconsin with enough wind to make it interesting, and with favorable direction for the few miles up the river to an anchor place. It’s my longest sail on Avocet and my first time to anchor it to sleep in the cabin. The cushions are splendid. All went very well with the setup… well, I didn’t quite put the snotter and halyard in the best position relative to the main sprit… but no problem. Dennis, an active leader of the local sailing club, also took his boat out tonight’s got and, after we sailed together, is anchored nearby. He completed building his Bolger Chebacco last year… beautiful workmanship. I mostly kept pace with him, then he unfurled his jib and moved a little faster. He will likely send a few photos of my boat from his and I’ll post them. After anchoring I got both sprits up and out of the way along with the sails. I am now trying out a fold-up camp chair in the cockpit to write this while also munching some corn chips and queso. Yep… it’s a fine evening. ?
