We are feeling a little melancholy this morning, our last real day of summer vacation, ouch! With that said it is a beautiful day sunny with no wind and the forecast says it will stay like this for the remainder of the day. The motor started up right away and we started out at 2100rpm which seems like a good spot for the engine (very fuel efficient) and it pushes us along at about 6 knots. We had a very pleasant and uneventful trip home. It was a good day to catch up on some reading and reflect on what a great 1st summer we had on Rose Lee. We had set our expectations pretty low for this 1st summer with our Catalina 470 which was a big jump from our Douglas 32 and we had been on an 8 year hiatus from sailing on top of that. Our initial plan after we launched was, let’s get Rose Lee out and see how we feel and if it means we stay in Halifax Harbour this summer getting used to the new boat and getting re-acquainted with sailing that’s fine. We never imagined when we began the season that we would have as much fun, feel so comfortable and go as many places as we did. We are very happy with how much we learned and the speed that our sailing and navigation skills have come back. Next summer can’t come soon enough, lots more to learn but we are ready.
