Today we were able to take SEGWUN out for a short sail.  Jens got to see the new sails, feel how the boat handles and get a little more comfortable with all the rigging.  

Jens at the helm.  The weather has turned a little grey and a little misty with a breeze at about 5 knots.  


 Some shots of the sails as you can see them from the deck.  We have new main and head sails.  As you can see, we are flying the visit flag of USA since we are registered as a Danish boat and fly the Danish flag aft.
This is me at the helm.  We have automatic pilot,  so I can spend my time daydreaming.

John and Jens.  John has been a great help to us in anticipating all of our needs and helping us to get everything we need.  He has really been a great help with his vast knowledge and experience.

This afternoon, the wind has come up quite a bit, gusting at around 40 knots.  We've come across a small problem with the refrigeration unit - we're not sure if it's a small problem or not, but we'll have it checked out on Saturday to be sure.  Our departure is now set for Sunday, which works out well since they are calling for high winds for the next few days.
