Today was the day that I brought iDuck to Waterford to use
as my dinghy. One of her duties will be
to provide a platform for me to stand while I repair the hull of The
Flatulence. But today, she was a fun
sail in the marina. It’s been a year and
a half since this little duck got to swim, and she is so happy now.
Sailing in this Waterford Harbor is not easy. There are two-story homes and condos on all
sides of the marina. The wind, although
it was blowing good today, was blocked by the buildings. It was fun anyway. I sailed all the way to pier 1 and then back to my pier. iDuck always gets looks
and a thumbs-up. There were several that
stopped to watch me sail, and I’m sure I will hear comments later.
iDuck has a bright yellow balanced lug sail. If any of you see me on the water, give me a
holler and a wave. I might not be able
to wave back, because she requires both hands, one for the tiller and one for
the sheet. I’m sure she will be out and
about on Clear Lake a lot.
