5.24- Dinghy Sailing & Street Party

Today we tested out the new sailing rig Capt. Dave built for his Bauer Classic 10' dinghy, and the Tennessee Ronnie served up some NC style barbecue at the annual Memorial Day weekend street party on Hodges St.

The sprit-rig for the dinghy had an easy day of it, with winds at most 5 knots, when we were lucky. It did make the boat go, though, even if a bit slowly. Rowing would have been faster, but a lot more work. The rig got a passing grade all around, though of course we have already identified places for improvement.

Tennessee Ronnie showed me his secret technique for serving up 300 plates of hot pig... plenty of breaks for some Tennessee style corn liquor.
