Spring is sprung

[William_H]

While my forum frinds are thinking about drying out for winter here down under spring has come at last. Relaunched the little boat for the summer season yesterday.
2 hrs from home launch and rig the boat sail to the swing mooring and home agtain with empty trailer. No problems. SWMBO was a big help.
The little boat sailed so sweetly on a gentle breeze back to the swing mooring.
We have a competent crew course on Sat morning with 8 eager customers and a club race Sun afternoon. So back into it at last. olewill is happy.

OT but the title was a shoo-in;

The Spring has sprung,
the grass has riz,
I wonder where all the boydies iz?
Hark! The boyd iz on the wing!
but that's obsoyd;
the wings is on the boyd.

Best spoken in the voice of Jimmy Durante, with apologies to Damon Runyon if I've remembered it wrong.
