Lots of new things to look at and check on “Snow Lion” before we leave for the transatlantic race in june. This was our first opportunity, the mast was stepped on friday and the boat loaded yesterday. A new mast track, two new spinnakers and the usual number of projects for any boat going into the water for the first time after a winter of refitting.

A nice 15 knot northerly, offered us flat water for our first outing. Brilliant sun made us feel like spring was really here.
