. . . . . . we got underway again yesterday. I think we've endured the longest hiatus from sailing we've experienced since moving from Michigan to Texas in '95. I nearly always post pics of the year's first sail and I've done so here - frankly, they look pretty much like the pics from previous "first sails", but it's now sort of part of the drill. None are keepers, but they show us back "in the swing."

Thanks so much, my friend. Let's see some pics from you (either camera); I'm already going into withdrawal .

I will post a couple tomorrow. Just processing a bunch from today. Cheers JIMBO
