Stormy Maiden Voyage

Now that our new Southerly 480 sailboat is in the water, the commissioning process (testing and final adjustments) begin. This includes sea trials and we get a couple of opportunities to take our new offshore cruising yacht out on the water - a great way to celebrate Paul’s birthday - plus deal with an electrical storm!
