First sail.. I would rather go to the dentist!

It is that time of year again.
Hopefully I serviced the engine correctly and put the right things in the right places, Other bits have been checked, hopefully we don't have a bug in the fuel and the anti foul goes on tomorrow. I cringe every time we have to get the boat lifted in or out in fact I would rather go to the dentist. Then I have to remember how to sail again and use the instruments.
The fist sail is always a nightmare thinking of what might go wrong or what has been happening to the boat over winter.
Poke me in the eye with a sharp stick... it's less demanding on the nerves.

You must have a gorgeous young dentist!!

Took the boat out and found the rudder, prop and bow thruster had a community of sea life the size of Mexico city living on them.
Wondered why everything was so sluggish going the 100m to the haul out.
If we had got out to sea in the state we were in we could have had real problems.
Now it is all clean and I feel a lot better setting out for this years cruising,
