First Sail

On Saturday, we sailed Pearl for the first time.  Initial rigging/set-up took 4 + hours, but we should be able to trim that down significantly with a little practice.  Pearl slipped off the trailer without a hitch.  The motor seemed a little bit cold blooded, but she did eventually fire up and has been very reliable since.  Pearl points way better than expected.. She plows through waves and makes them feel like ripples, assuming her weight has something to do with the smooth ride. We overnighted on Pearl for the first time last night.  More pics to follow.  Here are some pics of the shake down cruise and the morning view.
