Sailing Lil' Provo

Welcome to the first blog related to sailing.

The past season was a great one, with sailing almost every weekend and sometimes twice a week. We covered many miles sailing Raritan Bay. The past year had many fall backs, hurting my back early in the season working on Lil Provo's mast and later in the season with a torn rotator cuff from a car accident in Korea. I really had to fall back on my first mate to get many of the chores done. My firstmate, Blue, did a hell of a job this past year. Starting out green without any sailing experience under his belt, he grew into the perfect first mate. He learned by hands on and by the end of the season learned a lot aabout sailing. No need to tell him what to do, he just knew! Can't ask for more. Lil Provo only gave us a little problem early in the season with a bad kill switch on the motor. This was actually a good thing. It made us sail through the mooring field under sail. A great accomplishment!

Being we are starting this blog with the new year and Lil Provo sitting in the back yard, we will cover our winter projects on her and things we do to make her a better place on the water. Keep in touch.
