Tuesday 5 March 2019 The Tammie Norrie's Big Day Out

After two years, and having started from a pile of bits on the shed and living room floor and after much cursing, tantrums and joy the big day finally arrived.

Pre launch day -checking out the sails




 Feeling pretty chuffed


Launch morning - all packed and ready to go









Unfortunately I was unable to attend the launch, the farrier was due and as all horse owners know, one never puts one's farrier off side. The rest of the pics are courtesy of Jan.

Arriving at Jan and Dereks


The launch at Wallaga Lake








Sadly, or maybe not, there was no breeze




On the far reach of the test run there was a zephyr of wind


And they were able to proceed under sail for a short while


Before returning to shore under oar power



The man and boat returned home triumphant. No bailing required and everything worked as it should. Only the boat trailer needing more work.
