went dinghy sailing…ow..

For the first time in over 30 years, today, I crewed, in a race (two actually) in a very small sailing dinghy…

ow…

crew space is designed for a child… I mean, like, really, I am very short but… I am not a child… I am also Not Fit… (and a bit … nicely… curvy…) and my legs just don’t move quickly in a confined space… my brain was shouting at my legs to move…. but they had bad attitude and were so slow!

He MADE me get out on trap too… now THAT was just plain MEAN… (but I did it…heheh)

I have such sore legs… I am WAY too old for little dinghy crewing… (translate that to ‘unfit’ if I am truthful!)… but it was fun… brought back lots of memories!

“pretty photos… how’s Pelican’s bum getting along?” Well you really have been away from the sea too long, bum? bum? !! its called the stern 😉 Answer – Really well, I’ll do some photos and a story soon. Stern finished and undercoated. New rudder built and fairing it at the moment. Traveller being welded to take solar panel. New Bimini made, new sail cover made. Getty excited!!
