The boat floats!
This is one more small victory for the novice sailor. It only took us two hours to rig, because we had to take the mast down three times. It was very hot, but I somehow managed to emerge from the experience sunburn free.
Tropical Storm Claudette is enroute for us. Or at least the northern end carrying the rain and wind and muck. I am not worried. Well, ok, I am a little worried. Hopefully my house will survive the beating.
