During the winter Richard had the company of Maisie, when he worked on the boat when she was out of the water. Once Captiva was launched we took Maisie on a short motor across the Fal river. We then spent one night sleeping on the boat.
Time for the real test.
Richard had been training with the Flushing and Mylor Pilot Gig Club Supervets for the Gig rowing world championships on the Isles of Scilly. We planned to sail there on Captiva and brave Maisie accompanied us for her first sailing voyage.
We had a fabulous weekend and Maisie coped really well.
