Default Who will be in the water first?

I could have been in yesterday, but couldn't
find any crew! It takes three people to push
the trailer to the hoist. Towing it over wasn't
an option because there are rows of masts in the
way and it's a very tight fit followed by a ramp.

The weather was perfect 15-20 knots and 60 degree.
I had everything rigged and ready, registration
current, sails, lifejackets, and safety gear loaded
--but no crew. I wish I was back in San Francisco
--I never had trouble finding crew there.

The water is very cold 42 degrees. I wonder how
long an average person would last in in the water.
30 to 40 minutes?

I got some sanding and fairing done on the big boat
in the morning--good weather for that too. The wind
blew the dust away nicely.

Could have been in , Yesterday, as I was waxing the hull, they came by with
the crane and asked if I was ready. I said no, only finished waxing at 1400.
Got to go to Boston today, maybe when I return she'll be in
