Old sailors expression for first time out after a period alongside. Specifically submarines.
So cobweb day tomorrow. First sail of the year......rain delayed, but hey. First sail on my friends new to him boat. Alpa 9.5 an older German make. Kinda Contessa style, looks robust.
He is excited as a kid in a sweet factory. We have completed the fast cruise, tied up but checked everything works.....or what doesn't. Engine has had an alongside Italian decoke. Sails spread or hoisted. Reefs in and out.
Must admit I'm getting up for it too. Wonder what will break. ??
Nice to be heading out for a local tootle around, back in time for tea and stickies. ?
