Finally managed to make my maiden voyage in Aeolus II at Wimbleball SC on Wednesday 5th August. It was a very gusty day, so glad to have remained upright and dry. We first went out 3-men-in-a-boat (nephew Jack and cousin's partner John), but this was a little crowded, although the extra weight did help with the erratic wind. Then went out 2-up and this was a little more lively, as the boat proved to be quite responsive and needed constant adjustment, so no leisurely crusing. It was a great first outing and helped by having a large contingency of family on the shore.
