2020 Launch Day!

After all the pandemic associated worries, restrictions and closers this year our 2020 initial launch happened on May 15th at the Gibsons Marina.

After a few wacky moments like me hitting the motor throttle at the dock leaving Lisa and Farley behind and losing two fenders (as different times) we got underway for a fairly gusty (triple reefed) sail on Shoal Channel.

Stopped at Plumpers Cove Marine Park to stretch our legs and again at Granthams Landing to pop in on a little unofficial (socially distanced) happy hour group that meet there on Friday afternoon.

Nice to finally get out on the water!

PS - Found a fender washed up on the beach the next day.  Not ours but a suitable replacement.  Broke even!

A few pictures....
