Action Packed Day Full of Sailing, Impeller Inspection, & Pump Out

Sunday was an awesome day full of sailing and boat projects! Started the day by checking the impeller to make sure it was ok and in good shape. With the guidance of both my dad and Rich I was able to get it taken apart and put back together fairly easily. For me, this was a great accomplishment given I'm not the most mechanically sound person. Oh, and the impeller was in good shape. Next we backed the boat out and took her over to the fuel and pump out dock to top off the fuel as well as do a pump out. Let me just say, pump outs are pretty gross. I'll just leave it at that lol. After that adventure, it was time to hit the open water and do some sailing. Once out on the water, Rich went full sailing instructor and school was in session. Along with our usual sailing exercises (tacking, keeping a straight course, not letting the sails luff, etc.) Rich taught me how to reef both the main sail and jib. We were actually having good strong puffs of wind so the reefing experiences came in handy. All in all it was once again a great day out on the boat. A lot of fun and learning as usual. Anytime I'm able to get the boat and sail it's a great day. We were out on the water sailing for about 5 hours I believe. Big thank you to both my Dad and Rich for all their help and knowledge. Over the last year and a half they've taught me so much.
