Peter helped me with my mast on Sunday, and wanted to get out on Sumac before racing on Wednesday. Peter had removed the outside jib tracks and put them further inward on the combing.
Peter and I went out in about 3 knots of breeze from the south and flat waters.
We raised the main in the slip, pushed ourselves off the dock, and sailed away tacking out the channel.
We got the boat moving at 5.5 knots most of the time, as we were generating our own apparent wind (apparently).
We hoisted the spinnaker later to keep our speed up when the breeze started dropping. Our max speed on the GPS was 6.3 knots under spinnaker.
On the way back, the wind completely dropped, and we had to motor back in.
Peter was please with the track placement.

After putting the sails away, we headed back to the CS34 for a pump out cruise. The holding tank was full (the head was backing up) so I learned how to do my first pump out. When we got back I also filled up the water tanks.
