Maiden Voyage - The Soggy Dollar

After 5 weeks on the hard, The Soggy Dollar cast off at McCotters Marina last night around 6pm after a day of final rigging, tuning, part replacement, Bimini installation and general maintenance. We gave our offering to Poseidon and threw off our lines to shake her down.

No wind in the Pamlico River, literally zero unfortunately, but that gave us the opportunity to take turns feeling her out on the outboard, maneuvering, and working the running rigging. After motor sailing with the only apparent wind being what we created for a an hour, we took the sails down headed back in with the pop-top up, music on, and took her as high as we could into Broad Creek while enjoying a gorgeous sunset.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the solicited and searched-for advice. Cheers :beer:
