First In

[Spartan]

April 15 was launch day for those in winter storage at Moraine State Park (Western PA)

I arrived at 10am and after a quick hull cleaning, I trailered to the steep/narrow launch ramp and after a couple of tries pushed Spartan off the trailer and was docked by noon.  Followed by a cockpit cleaning and check of the  cabin.  Too windy to mess with the sails and sail cover, thus providing an excuse to go back up soon.  When I left at 2:30 I was still the only sailboat in (there's well over a 100 dock spaces)  The sailing season has begun!!!
