Zeiglers Cove

The four of us took ReOrient out for a short sail Sunday morning then stopped for lunch at Zeiglers Cove.  We got there and picked up a mooring just before the rush.  Very pretty but a lot of boats looking for moorings.  Since we forgot to take pictures, here are a few I found on the web ... on a quieter day.

Maiden Sail

We took ReOrient out for her maiden sail this afternoon.  She's moored on Five Mile River, no more than a few minutes from the sound in Rowayton.  The engine starts without choking it and runs smooth ... really smooth.  Once we got her out into the sound, we put up the main and then the jib and she is a pleasure to sail.  We had a good wind for the first sail, not too strong, but strong enough to get a feel for her. 

The sheet we used for the jib does not seem long enough, so that's one change and there are a few other minor adjustments that we'll make, but already looking forward to the next sail.

Forget the Manicure! (When you have a project like this.)

Teak, Teak and More Teak!

The railings are now being refinished and secured.  Before and after.  Looking good Hank!
