We awoke early, loaded the truck and drove up to Saugatuck to the boat.\u00a0 It wad windy from the West.\u00a0 Lots of loads of clothes, food, electronics, etc.\u00a0 I am tired by now but no relief.\u00a0 Time for the sails – so we put them up.\u00a0 In total the weigh about 100# but the heaviest is about 50# and we started with the roller furling headsail first.\u00a0 Then the inner staysail which is club footed.\u00a0 We finally ended with the main sail and this was the toughie.\u00a0 The wind was up and we missed the boom track twice but finally succeeded in getting it all together.\u00a0 Late in the evening we raised the main and tied in the first and second reefs.\u00a0 We should be already to go.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Out slip is 5′ 6″ deep and we are nearly\u00a0striking the\u00a0bottom.\u00a0 So, we complained and received a deep water slip but it is at the end of a long pier – the center one – so now we will be slip 153 which is a port side position.\u00a0 In some respects this is a plus as the reverse gear tends to walk the boat to port so it will pull towards the dock.\u00a0 However if the wind is from the South it pushes you towards the dock and makes exiting doubly hard.\u00a0 At least we have 8′ depth and will not strike bottom this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
