Well, the Hobie Cat is finally here and it is almost registered.Despite the registration not being complete yet, I decided to do some sailing since I now have a boat that is by the water ... so it as some attempts at sea trials. For this, I took out to other new hires: my neighbor Eamonn Houston from Ireland and Bill Ghent from Houston. The weekend was pretty good and the boat was in the water both days. Here are some pictures!
So that was the first full weekend with the boat ... unfortunately the water was like glass and it was not possible to really get much going ... although the second day was most amusing ...

| Note how the water is like glass and how the boats are moving ... |

| Unfortunately one of the children kicking the boats in became a traitor to his father and abandoned ship. The boat on the left had two loyal children to kick it in when the wind fully died. |
