Underway under sail

We have finally gotten Hattie L out on Seneca Lake under sail! It was a beautiful Sunday morning but the winds were light and variable (variable is the way of winds on Seneca Lake) so we powered up and left the marina. We figured out how to raise the sails and away we went for an enjoyable four hours.
Coming back into the marina was a breeze and we made a perfect (for us) docking manuver.

We both now need to practice - preactice - practice but there are lots of folks in the Seneca Harbor marina and the Finger Lakes Yacht Club who seem more than willing to give us all the advice we need.
