Welcome to another week on the water.

Shiraz was out on Saturday in what were perfect conditions. It took no effort to stay on track, the wind was steady, the sun was out and the river calm. It was also nice to see (for the first time in a while) several other yachts out on the water with us. 

We had a minor drama when we came back into port when the old trusty outboard wasn't so trusty and concked out, just when we needed it. As we have come to learn, sailing is all about adapting to the situation, so we kept the main sail up and docked the old fashioned way. On inspection we found the outboard had a leaky fuel hose, and we able to fix it straight away (thanks Travis). 

 I have attached a photo (no video this time), with Josh on the helm for the first time (first time on a yacht too).
