Ready for the 2018 season. The boat is waiting on her two anchors mooring. :)

Michel. Did you have that first sail yet? Mine has been in the water for the past two weeks but I have yet to have my first sail. Had a few things to do to make the Piper shipshape. Plan is for this Thursday.

Don't fall into the trap of wanting the boat too perfect! Go sailing! ;)
