Visited the (sailboat!) show in the morning with a buddy looking for a 35' cruiser for his family. Lots to see, but awfully pricey.
Came home and drove my powerboat off my neighbor's lift and brought it from the Severn River over to my dock. Then got my sailboat rigged and ready, and took it out with said buddy in 11-13 knots of breeze, while being followed by the Tartan 245 distributor driving my powerboat and taking photos of us sailing my new boat. Buddy drove and I handled the sheets, and we tacked and jibed back and forth well over a dozen times so good 'action' photos could be taken. Once that was done, powerboat went back to the dock, as did we. So Tartan distributor could join me on my boat and help me understand rig tune and set-up. Headed out into Round Bay in 12-14 knots, and had a beautiful spirited sail with two of us on the rail. Set a new speed record for me in this boat upwind -- previous record was 5.5 knots last weekend in 10 knots of wind, and this time we got it up to 5.8 knots sustained. Really fun!
Then returned to the dock so buddy could drive home and distributor could install transom netting while I drove powerboat back to neighbor's lift.
Four boat rides in an afternoon was exhilarating. And I slept well.
