Today was the day to register and title the boat, which required a trip to Garland about an hour away. So since I was in the neighborhood, my friend David invited me to stop by Rush Creek Yacht Club where we gave Goodfoot her first dunk. Without any crew weight or spars on board, she sat very high on her lines. In fact the chines were fully out of the water. Very encouraging.
Look at her! She wants to go sailing! "Where are my sails?", she asks.
ReplyDeleteJoy thinks she looks very boaty.
Good job!
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's official! You are a boatwright! Look at the boat you have wrought!
ReplyDeleteHooray!
ReplyDeleteNot many people can claim to have made a boat that doesn't sink.
Thanks everyone. It's nice to have her out of the back yard and on the water. Just a few more details to work out and then it's sailing time! Also, it would be nice if the 100 degrees days would lay off.

I think I am actually going to miss seeing her....
DeleteThat's awesome...so glad to see all of that hard work paying off! I don't think I've ever known a CAPTAIN before! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why my original comment didn't show up here. But yay and congrats! This is a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteLook at that beautiful boat!!! Goodness, Goodfoot looks AMAZING! I've never known a Captain either, but what's more is, I've never known someone who BUILT A BOAT!!! Very impressive, Peter, I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteWow! She looks wonderful. I know how hard you worked and I am both very impressed and proud of your accomplishment. Can't wait to see you sail off into the distance in her.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
