Shake-down Trip





We took Barefoot out for a 3-day shakedown cruise; just a short sail across Tampa Bay to Egmont Key and anchoring out near the mouth of the Manatee River for 3 nights.

Other than a few misled lines, the only major problem was a significant leak in the new watermaker. The technican looked at it yesterday and hopefully it can be fixed before our planned departure after Thanksgiving.

The pictures in this post can be compared to the picture in the 10/1 post: visible additions include sails (handy on a sailboat), bimini & dodger, dinghy and motor, and a new teak lashing board on the port side; you probably can't see the difference in the teak from all the varnishing.
