Default Strider's first real cruise

The cruise was remarkable for having few learning experiences.
Despite some strong winds and long legs, there was almost no
excitement due to equipment failures or mistakes.


That's not really cruising then, is it? Remember the
definition: "Cruising consists of fixing your boat in exotic
& inconvenient locations."



We did snag two lobster pots which made me a bit less sanguine about
that aspect of the boat. In both cases, however, it appeared to be
two pots that had tangled their lines so that they were stretched at
an unnatural direction.


Bummer... that makes it harder to miss 'em.

Since the advent of extremely cheap seafood flown in from
Asia, we've had far less of a crab pot & net problem,
cruising around here. But a summer cruise up your way sounds
like would be great fun.
