Underway!

Well, the weather wasn't perfect, but the forcast was for it to get worse so we headed out. We motored, with 15 kn of wind dead on the nose, for 13 nm to Driftwood Marina. We plan to spend a few days here to work on Walkure.
The trip was uneventful except for the fact that I had the prop shaft packing nut a hair too tight. We had to keep RPMs low, which kept our speed down. Now I've loosened it a bit so next time we should have no trouble. Otherwise, the boat took the chop like sitting in a rocking chair. We're OK, the boat's OK, Bev handled jumping off to cleat dock lines like a pro. Nice!
