delivery

JohnL and Jess scored themselves a slip in Shilshole to nest their big shiny Hunter 375, s/v Endless Winter. I partook in the delivery from her original slip on Lake Union through the canal, out the locks and into their fancy new home on Shilshole's M dock. After exiting the locks, we hoisted sail and took off south on a close haul. Right up until the point we saw the teeth of an interesting weather system coming out of the south to meet us. We tucked tail, put in two reefs and ran downwind back to Shilshole just as the rain hit. A tense but well executed docking maneuver called for a round of whiskey for all.

JohnL and Jess - congratulations! Endless Winter's a beautiful ride!
