The moorings were all tagged and put in the water this past week at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard. And, our wonderful custom-built Catboat has been launched and is on the dock waiting for its first sail of the season. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It’s been so much fun having a sailboat… again. I grew up racing sailboats with my brother and Phil had his own sailboat. During the shut-down of Covid, we decided that it would be fun to own a sailboat, get back out on the water and enjoy sailing once again. There’s no feeling like it! We’ve had a blast these past few years and are looking forward to another breezy, wind-filled summer of sailing!
Sweet!!
From Sea Fever by John Masefield:
“I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.”
