And it is. Yesterday we finally had time to go actually sailing. Nemo has been on water for about a week now and since now, we didn't even have enough time or crew to pull up the sails. Well, it's not that big boat but I'm just a beginner still and I have hard time managing all the maneuvers by myself... Anyway, at last we had a change to test the sails and everything went amazingly smoothly and professionally! Scarily smoothly to be honest. Usually there is something at least that crashes, breaks down or just falls off. Just waiting the catastrophe next time.

However, the first sailing trip for almost three years was success! There was just a light wind, enough to take us forward though and even had the spinnaker successfully up (down too!). The whole trip was so enjoyable, even though in the beginning I was a bit skeptic about how it will end up as neither of us have sailed for years now. Will all the ropes be tangled or upside down? Is there going to be too much wind? But no, everything went more than fine, this skill must be in the spine. Actually, the best moment in my opinion is when the sails
are all up and trimmed, the motor have been turned off and just the little ripple comes behind you. Perfection.
