Shake-down cruise 10/6/2006

It was a perfect Friday to go sailing and make sure everything worked as it should.  With a light sea breeze to power the boat, and a nearly calm ocean, you couldn't ask for more comfortable conditions to perform initial tests all the systems undersail.  We got underway at 0900 and returned to home port at 1800 with a short list of stuff to improve or fix, and fortunately, a much longer list of stuff that worked like a champ.

Finally, the Atlantic Ocean... It's been a long year to get here.
