The Beginning Is Near
August 12, 2008
We finally completed our sea trial today. It was great. We put up all three sails. Made 8.32 kts. We also did an engine test with the sails up and engine at 3900 rpm’s – running with the wind and made 10.12 knots! She is a sturdy and fast vessel.
The provisioning is finished, stowed and we are ready to leave at 0615 (6:15 a.m.) and be on our way. We are all excited and plan on getting a good nights sleep.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
John

You know if you were any type of sailor you would be able to get that thing up here to Annapolis by Saturday morning and we could pick you up for dinner at our house as planned.
Bet of luck and enjoy the once in a lifetime event !

Good sailing, John and Diana, may the wind be at your back. You may have to up the calorie count in your meals with all the hard work you’ll be doing.
