    My new-to-me sailboat was put into the water last night.

    Checking it out today, before sailing it home 100 miles tomorrow morning.

    Very good. We got into some pretty serious wind- gusts to 30 kts., but she was solid and steady even in that. She is also much faster than I was expecting. We clipped along at 8.5 knots in a 15 knot breeze. She takes 6 foot seas very well.

    It was a long trip- 15 hours, but it was a wonderful adventure. I haven’t ever skippered a boat this big before- I’ve just been along for the ride a few times in similar boats- but it’s much like I expected. I’m grinning.

    Sometimes you just gotta do it.

    It’s a 1986 Kirie Elite- also known as a Feeling. French built, good solid design. It’s all original, has seen better days, but really just needs love and attention. The varnish is a bit worn off the woodwork, but it sails fast!

    Believe it or not, I bought it on EBay, as a “Boat Angel” boat. I wasn’t really expecting to win, but when I saw the price, my ebay finger just kind of clicked on it, and, well, now I own her.

    I now live about 15 miles east of Michigan’s Mackinac Bridge. I live right next to the Marina- I can see my boat from my bedroom window. I really plan on just putzing around within about 50 miles of here- the trip here is likely the longest voyage I plan.
