Launched my 1976 Cal 2-27 "Halcyon" yesterday.
No drama to speak of other than the Atomic 4 decided to be a little recalcitrant even after I had started it at the top of the ramp, just long eneough to know it would run, started right up. The once we were floating it played hard to start. It fired up after a few tries and I motored to the dock with no problems where myself and my impressed launching crew spliced the main brace. Spent the the rest of the day on a handful of all the little things ot be done after launching.
On the trailer ready to go.
In the water on the way to the slip
At the slip
Way too windy yesterday and I woke up on the boat to thunderstorms this morning so didn't get near as much as I wanted done but I'm a happy sailor.
I also want to thank the board members here in general for all the help I've gotten getting this boat back in the water.
