Good Afternoon all,

Today was our first day of harbour cruises and a very successful one it was. There was a light crowd this morning, but this afternoon was sold out. I can't say I blame them as it was a beautiful day on the bay. We motored out to Battery Point where we set the sails and then bore off and headed for the mouth of the bay. Our huge main sail is still a wonderment to the crew and I think they enjoyed the cruise as much as the passengers or perhaps more so, as they had the knowledge of what it took to get to today.
The next two days have been set aside for us to fix all the little problems that crop up after the first days of sailing. We will be back at it on Wednesday. Don't forget to vote, you can't complain if you don't vote. I find the election particularly relevant considering the recent anniversary of D-Day. A great many people sacrificed everything so we could stroll into the voting office and choose our leaders. Don't waste their gift to us.

Regards
