Peridot - first couple of weekends

If your mouse pointer changes to a hand as you pass it over the photo, a click should bring up a higher resolution image.

If you pick up your monitor and rotate it, you'll find the angle we were sailing at - just above Jen's head you can see the mainsail is reefed.
This was a wierd experience...
This hoist is a fraction of the size of the old one Hartlepool used to have, but still Peridot looks insignificant.
First chance to see if she floated and the engine worked.
First sail
An older photo, but here for completeness!
