"ERL" maiden sail at swanage

an early start as allways and off to swanage to sail "ERL" , managed to move the boat around ok on my own, and got it on its side to replace the mainsheet halyard.
then it was a case of sorting the wind indicator and then meet rob who had a look at the boat as well
i launched with a bit of apprehension , thinking if something wasnt right i would be stuck.
i put the phone in the cocktal cabinet and forgot to set the gps running,  i sailed for an hour just over, praticing a few gybes and tacking
boat went ok and very pleased, tacks very well on main only.
6.1 nm and 1hr10min
my first sail for over 6 months, so very pleased, wind was about 8 to 10knts
