    On the trip back down we had a course of around 150 M and a SW breeze and making around 2.5 knots. A stronger wind and she would have pointed higher. If I'd had the breeze I had on Saturday I would have been romping along.
    Anyway that was Redwings first real cruise.
    Don't talk it down. Tweed and Seaway bars are no small deals, and the prep, planning and execution of any trip that includes them is brag worthy. Very well done, I reckon.

        I've started writing up the story...1500 words so far so I think it's going to be at least a two part article.

          Well done Gary, must be nice to have a cruise under her keel.

            I feel like a sailor now and not someone who sits on the dock talking about great plans of going here or there. I've managed the crisis and I've had to deal with the viscous mud on the anchor and chain. I've got a boat that sails well and is easy to manage...I'm feeling pleased with myself.
            A working depth sounder would be nice though.

                  You could call it 'There and Back Again'.

                                I was actually wishing I had one. I tried to improvise something but it just didn't have the weight.
