Maiden Voyage of "The B" 8-21-08

The "B" is Matthew and Leah's new-to-them Tanzer 14. They named it the "B" because it looks like a bumble bee. It is a cute little vessel that sails very well. Eileen and I spend part of our vacation in NC, helping Leah get her room ready for her third graders and teaching Matthew and Leah how to rig and sail their boat! We sailed two days on Falls Lake, home of the Redneck Yacht Club!

Here is Matthew prior to the first rigging lesson

Look at the confidence...she makes me proud!
