After some intensive period of work to get The Lady ready for another adventure we finally got the stage to perform some sea trials.
From forestay replacement to heat exchanger (HE) refurbishment being two of the bigger jobs, there were a million of small bits and pieces to be addressed, starting from foresail luff length adjustment to getting the required nautical charts for the upcoming trip. Crazy crows trying to build a nest at the masttop kept me on my toes! Webasto changing priorities.
The sea trail took place within the lovely Dublin Bay and was testified by more than 150 years of sailing experience represented by fellow sailors from the Royal Irish Yacht Club.
A good and encouraging start under light winds and blue skies.
I had to get back to sea knowing that you can keep working on the boat without sailing at all. You won’t get bored but frustrated.
Departure date coming up on the horizon.
Fair winds…
