The Sailing Season Begins! Yesterday, April 1st, was the splicing party. We had a good turn out and in a couple of short hours had all of the eyes and loops spliced into the mooring lines. As usual, Dick Z did a superb job teaching us all how it's done. I'm sorry that I forgot my camera, otherwise I would have posted a picture here for you all to see.
Because the splicing was done so quickly, Cindy P was able to start the Cruising Meeting a bit early, just a bit after 3:00. We used last year's cruising schedule as a template, and some people thought that a Port Jefferson cruise might be a nice substitute for the Black Rock cruise. No decision was made.
Gladwyn and I took a few minutes to look over the floating docks that need to be repaired in the next few weeks, and also discussed how we might build a ramp for some of the dinghy sailors.
Earlier in the day, I got out on a friends Pearson Ensign. He needed it brought around to his dock from a yard in Guilford. We were out for about an hour in light air under motor, but heck, at least we got out there!
