Strictly Sail Day 3 - Can it get any better?
Sun, sun and more sun today. My ears are sun burned! Oh yeah, and there was a great breeze to boot. An essential ingredient for a good boat show where sailing demos are the order of the day. All in all today was perfect. Al did an excellent job of spending as little time as possible at the dock and was out on the water with prospective buyers virtually all day. And there were a lot of them. So far we know of at least two orders that we can count on and I'm sure a few more will come as a result of the show. Al was joined today by Jonathan Little, one of our Seattle owners, who flew down to help us out over the weekend. It is always good to have an owner's perspective nearby and Jonathan is an fantastic ambassador for the Rocket 22.
We also owe a big debt of gratitude to Mike Seth, the owner of the show Rocket, who has so kindly let us use his boat for the duration of the show. It is owners like Mike and Jonathan that remind Al and I why we do what we do. They are great, supportive, generous with their time and boats and Al and I are both very grateful to them as well as all our other owners who have all helped us get to where we are today.
Scot from Sailing Anarchy also dropped by today with his son Tracy who happily walked off with a Rocket hat. Scot has also been a big supporter of our project from the very beginning and it was good to have him see the boat finally sailing. He said he was impressed and I believe him. After all, isn't everything on Sailing Anarchy the gospel truth?!
We're also getting a lot of interest and a few early sign ups for our Summer Sailing Clinic Program that is basically all about sailing and booze. We use all kinds of correct language like "gourmet", "sailing clinic" and "winery tours", but lets face it, it is really about sailing all day and drinking at night. What more could a sailor ask for! For anyone who doesn't know about this program click here.
Apparently the weather is supposed to change tomorrow with a bit less sun but I'll be dockside and looking forward to getting anyone interested out for a Rocket Ride!!
