We managed to get all the way around Hat Island on this sail.

This is another entry where the original just says "More soon..." I never got around to writing any more, and don't really recall all that much about the day.

I do remember cutting through the water across toward the tip of Hat Island. And another sailboat over hauling us and then sailing away as we rounded the north tip of the island. The wind seemed to die as we got on the west side of the island and we had to motor for a while, then it came up again as we got to the south end of the island.

I think this is the trip where I managed to get Odyssey sailing wing-and-wing, but that could have been another trip.

I do know it was a good day on the water. Most are.

After a couple of months of preparation, we were finally ready to Odyssey in the water and give this sailing thing a try.

My old version of this log says "more soon" but I honestly can't remember much about our first day out on Odyssey. Seems like I should remember more, but other than hoisting the main sail and then the genoa I can't picture much about that day.

That's probably a good thing, actually. Our first day sailing wasn't the fiasco it could've been.
