I got off work last night at 7:00pm. On a whim mw and a friend decided to grab another buddy and go sailing in a boat like the ones you see in the picture. These are a two person boat at the most but you can fit three people in them so why not do it? Well I'll tell you why.
First off the boat the we where in was not set up fully and still had some snags here and there. Like a part we had to glue back on.... but didn't wait the 3 hours for the glue to dry, so we took in a lot of water....
We paddled out of the marina break water only to find out that our sail wouldn't go up all the way and that the rudder handle was over the main sail ropes at the back. We had to sail/remove the rudder at the same time while moving in and about millon dollar yacths. When we finally got that all fixed we had to tack and with two guys in the back there was no room for one to move so he jumped put and held onto the stern on the boat, letting in a tone of water.
At this point I was on balier duty and we where sailing!! Then these giant black clouds rolled in and the fog started to roll in as well. But we were pirates, and never gave up.
We sailed around for a bit, found out that the boat would vibrate when we went a certian way then called it a night. Put the boat back in its cart and got a victory beer!
I was a night well spent and one of the best time's I've had.
Happy days
Roscoe.
