SPLASH!

Sorry, now big yellow keel this year. I ran out of Yellow Vivid on the rudder, and at $75 a quart, I decided to just use the discounted Blue Vivid I had on the keel. Well, the weather finally got nice enough to splash the boat. Bottom was finished last week and waiting for a break in the wind to get the boat back on the rig. Everything went smoothly. 1st impressions under motor are that there is reduced vibration / turbulance at top speed (now 6.7kts vs the 6.4 previously). Sails will go up on the 18th for our opening day frostbites!
