Sailing: Bellevue @ 40th to Kirkland Marina Park

Brrrr.... after dealing with an hour of setup (need to work on that) and a disasterous launch (need to learn to backup a trailer) and getting blown over a log boom before we could get moving we had an absolutely freezing sail.

The boat doesn't fit in the Kirkland boat launch (bummer) - it's too wide. So we went down to Bellevue, at 40th, just south of the I90 bridge. We got a brief gust, enough to wake Kat up, then it died and we more or less drifted down wind in very light air, past Bill Gates house, to the 520 bridge. Then the wind turned, picked up to about 15 knots, right on the nose. We had to tack through the bridge, which was sketchy and then beat for another 1.5 hours in a very cold breeze to Kirkland. We're both hypothermic :)

Going to leave it at the Kirkland dock over night and sail it back down tomorrow.

The boat points so so. Definitely not like a monohull. And pushing it through a tack is a bitch. But it's a fun boat. Will be very nice once it warms up.
