I went to the marina tonight and picked up Aelena. She looks great - the cable on the keel winch is brand-new and ready to do its job. Everything on the boat is, as far as I can tell, as ready as it can be for the maiden sail.
I've been reading sailing books ever since I brought Aelena home. I'm 3/4 of the way through The Annapolis Book of Seamanship and I've read two other very good books on the subject. I've also taken a number of sailing classes and gone out on friends' boats over the past dozen years. I am ready to sail my boat! I'm hoping it will happen this weekend, but the forecast doesn't look good. I'll let you know if it happens.
