Well, we left on a fair breeze after all. After a marvelous send-off from Little Bluff Beach, we sailed under main & jib into kingston to finish the last of the provisioning.
It was good to have a familiar trip as our first leg. We had spent that morning scrubbing Pilger's bottom, to get rid of all that growth that tends to slow a boat down. We discovered that when we froze Pilger into the ice in Picton Harbour that some of her bottom Paint got rubbed off, so we have booked time at Iroquois Marina to have her hauled out so we can put on her annual coat.
Tomorrow, we are heading towards Iroquois. so will write more then.
Thanks again all, for making yesterday such a good time!

Thanks for the post and great to see the pics. Gren and I had a bit of a rough paddle back, but it was well worth it to see you off on your great adventure!

You really had a beautiful day for a send off, however yesterday here was crazy windy hope you were anchored somewhere safe. Will keep on checking your progress.
