We forgot champagne.

I’ve had some work to do, a bit on the boat, more on the trailer
(pretty much ended up rebuilding it). Still feel like we got a heck
of a deal. Then we got busy, and a few days we were thinking of
going but there was no wind, so it’s been quite a while since we’ve
had the boat and we hadn’t taken it out.

We have now, and I’m pleased to say it sails nicely. I have a few
things to get/change/fix/figure out, but for a first sail I was pretty
pleased, and nothing that would stop me from sailing it again, even
without fixes.

I look forward to more days sailing with Kim and Hazel. Hazel mostly
liked playing in any water that got in the cockpit.

Crochet Chicken

Margot recently decided she wanted to crochet a chicken. She didn’t have a kit or instructions. She just looked at some pictures of chickens online for “inspo” and then made this up in her head then crocheted it. I’m amazed at how she just figures
