Thanks Fritz

But I thought I would let you all know that Destiny is really enjoying her life back on the water again. The restoration projects do finally end and the result is what I have been enjoying for the last 6 months.


Yesterday one of my best friends and I took Destiny for a very fun ride in winds between 10 and 15 MPH. By the end of the day we had put 37 miles under her keel. We had the 140 genoa up with a single reef in the main and she handled the winds perfectly. She likes to sail with the rail about 6" from the water and only occasionally did she dip her rail in the water for a short time and then she popped right back up to where she likes to sail.


You know after 5 years of restoration work all I can do is smile and say YES! it was really worth it when we are out sailing.


Here are a couple of short video clips of our day yesterday.
