Maiden shake down voyage in Lulu the Lugger!
The christening ceremony is done, we have a "green branch" on the deck, there's a little bit of wind, so it's time to take Lulu on her first actual sailing maiden voyage. The wind is pretty rubbish to be honest, but it made for a lovely summer sail. Just what you need when trying to get used to a new boat. 00:00 We have a name!!! 01:11 We're sailing 02:28 Problem with the Jib furling mechanism 03:20 A beautiful day 04:16 Sailing into a South Westerly wind 04:45 A swimmer dead ahead! 05:28 Discussing Mph and Knots 07:31 Transporter plane very low 08:52 getting stuck in Irons 10:22 Keeping hydrated! 11:04 Discussing tacking with a Mizzen 12:55 Tacking and backing the Jib 15:39 Anchoring on a Lee shore 17:50 Weighing anchor 18:48 Top Gun's "Maverick" makes an appearance 19:21 Big bertha is back!! 19:56 Furling the sails - Time for a row! 23:20 Motoring back to the mooring 23:55 Moored up and locking up the Strop
