PROGRESS SOARING













Brett has been working diligantly on the boat. He has been building the galley in and it is looking awesome. We had a good Christmas. Brett smoked a turkey for the park again. We sailed on Bill and Mary Lou's boat and then we all four jumped on our boat for a quick sail before dark. We easily soared at 6 knots with main only yet she glided through the water. I cut my finger on the main halyard as I was raising the mast. I pulled muscles in my back trying to get the main down. Taking our boat out is showing me areas I need to improve like sailing gloves and stronger arms. We also discussed a step near the mast because I am just too short to get the main sail down. We had a great time though, with Mary Lou and Bill. It was great! They are now considering buying a larger, fin keel boat after sailing on theirs compared to ours.





We've just been working away at the boat and jewelry and Christmas. I thought I'd throw some pictures on here for everyone.











































Miss y'all.





Kyla (and Brett)

You and Brett are making great progress. It must be incredibly fulfilling to be able to get out on the boat and actually sail. Makes all your hard work worth it all...
