First time out in 2015

First time off the mooring this year and we're joined by Sue and Neal to see how the winter work has turned out.

All the mechanical work has turned out very well, and she handles like a different boat - one that's much easier to manouvre ! All of Tony  Evans' very hard work has paid off, so hats off to him.

Leading all lines to the cokcpit works quite well, the only snag was that one of the reefing lines is a bit too short.. but soon rectified

All in all, I'm declaring a success !

The harbinger of a clear morning

About 1900 the wind dropped and the sky cleared, with this glorious sunset a little later. Looking forward to a clear day tomorrow and taking Annabella off her mooring for the first time thins year.
