8. Sailing 2010

Here are some of the photo and video highlights of Little Grace's very modest adventures in 2010. Modest because:
  • I had not sailed her before
  • These were waters I had not sailed in before
  • Tuulia has a history of sea sickness (See What's in a name for details)
  • Tuulia had no sail training (yet)
  • The dogs had to become accustomed to sailing

Sensible you would think and:

  • With sea sickness tablets Tuulia was fine.
  • The dogs were fine.
  • The boat handled well.
  • We didn't hit anything.

Quote from 2011
"Little Grace is a bit slow; I like it best when she is on her side (heeling)" Tuulia. I can't win.

Joking aside the shakedown went well and I got the chance to decide what needed changing and what was fine just as it is.
