May 8th: With new bottom and bootstripe paint and a polished hull, ORION looked like a million bucks when she was launched for the season.

May 29th: It was a cool day with light winds when we finally got to take our first official sail in the Niantic River. I fixed an upside-down sail slug and made other small adjustments.

June 19th: With Harry out of school for the summer, we went for an afternoon sail in Niantic Bay.

We sailed over to the Niantic Bay Yacht Club, had some lunch at their restaurant, and sailed back in beautiful conditions.

June 27th: Harry and I sailed to the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport. Even though the 10-15 knot wind was on the nose the whole time, the current helped us along.

We stayed overnight then went to the Show on Saturday before motoring back that afternoon. Check out the Google photo album of the trip.
