First day out with Pualani.  First day for my wife to ever sail.  What a great experience.  Had a gentleman help with my first attempt to get it off the trailer.  He was great to speak with and a good representative for sailing.  The return ramp did not go so well as 2 bass fishermen came in and were not in a hurry to clear the ramp.  One asked if he could help with my loading.  I asked him to move his boat so it didn't get hit.  He did guide me in. 

My wife really took to it!  She learned the basics and was sailing us around in five minutes.  We managed to pull 6 knots by the GPS on a 15 MPH wind day.  I think she is hooked and I am very happy about it.  Will attempt to figure out how to post photos soon.

Welcome to the group.  I also sail a CP19 on Texoma.  You will love this boat.  Your boat looks like one I have seen on Lake Grapevine?  I would like to invite you to a gathering we have on Texoma twice each year know as B.O.O.T.S. .  It's just around the corner, May 3-5.  We would love to have you join us.  You can find more details on the boots-tsbb Yahoo group page.  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boots-tsbb/  Where did you launch at Texoma?  Again, welcome and maybe I'll see you underway.

Fair winds
