Well it is is only the second sail, but this one was fantastic! The boat has been in the yard getting painted, adding batteries, stereo and 4 speakers, new head, solar, and more. She has been in the yard for over 3 weeks. I headed up and first thing I did was fire up the Sony and checked the audio. Sounds great! Speakers in the cockpit are mounted on the dodger for excellent sound. Took off with a forecast of 10-15. Hit the bay and the wind was up. I don't sail in this area alot so it was nice to be north of my home waters and near the Richmond Bridge. The wind was mostly 15 with a couple 18-19's and the boat hitting 8.2 SOG. Not bad for a 40 footer with a 38' waterline. Had a marvelous day with Kona (my golden) and relishing some fine sun and nice temps (t-shirt weather!). I am really enjoying this sexy, beautiful boat. We depart for Mexico in 7 months!
