Set sail today

Capt'n Bob?
Instilling confidence?  Mom, you are trusting your daughters' life with this guy?
Oh, that was him playing Ralphie from "A Christmas Story".
Here's Capt'n Bob.
He loves me.

Capt'n Bob at the helm.  Well, at least his feet are.  Isn't he talented.

Above you can see the tanbark sails after Bob removed the sail covers/bags, getting them ready to set sail.  This was a first and a very successful adventure.  Found that a few things need adjusting, but it was beautiful out there. That reminds me...there has not been one cloud in the sky for the last 2 days.

Above the dodger, looking into the main sail.

Way up yonder is Lake City, MN.

Tan Bark sails? Wow!!! Heron looks even better! Can't wait for a pic with all the sails up. Your foresails are hanked on correct? Have a good day. I leave tomorrow morning for Rathbun, though the weather window is slim. Marc

Yes, the foresails are hanked. We are traditionalists. Hope all goes good at Rathban for you.
