Botany Bay launched
Glorious day, sunny, warm, light breeze, dam 1/2 full of water.
friends arrived by the car load bearing food, drink, and
conviviality. An uneventful launch was achieved and off we went.
First sail was with my almost 4yr old daughter at the helm , 3 sails
set, beautiful. I sat and contentedly watched everybody else have a
go, much enjoyment all around. We then downed sails and I took my
darling wife for a row behind an island where we couldnt hear the
kids. finally had to stop floating around in the backwater and return
to the world. All the blokes then took turns at rowing thier wives
around the back of the same island. We then rerigged the sails all 4,
and did a demo run down the lake to much cheering fromthe bank. final
challenge of the day was to load 7 kids into the boat and go for a
row to test the oars and balance. Our 2 masted june bug is now a go-
er. photos asap cheers for now Paul Day and crew.
