This day was a long time coming. A month almost to the day since Miss Megan was launched to get out for the first sail on Miss Megan.

I know there were good reasons as to why it took so long. Kids in sailing school, hesitant about solo sailing for the first time out, life.

None of that matters, sailing was had, it was simply great. Miss Megan was easy to sail, for the first hour and a half my daughter had the helm. Yes, my first time out sailing and my daughter was the first on the helm once the sails went up. She’s probably a better sailor that I am anyways having her CanSail 4.

We ran into some shifty winds at the mouth of the bay which took some time to figure out but once we did we were off in a steady winds, 1 metre waves, and some heel to the boat which made for a great first sail.

Here’s a track from the sail, total distance was 16.61km, the track says our tops speed was 2km or just over 1kn but I think the GPS speed calculation is off.
