Maiden voyage

Last two days with winds of Bft 4+  were not suited for the maiden voyage.  

This morning there was almost no wind at all.  Time to put the Pakesizzer in the water for the first time.

As it was the Maiden Voyage it was appropriate that my wife had the honor of a first row.

The rowing was very light and quick responding.

After that we set the sail but due to the very light wind we could not really test the sailing capabilities. 


It was not possible to use the side benches.  Assumingly the Peapod needs more wind for stable sailing.

Due to bad planning there are no sailing pictures. Yours truly ran out of battery power for the camera  :-(

Later in the day the builder took to the oars for the heavy load test.  He survived.
