First Time on a Trimaran...

Jimmy and I were thrilled when Austin and Hannah invited us for a day of sailing on their trimaran, which is stored at a dock in Lelystad, north of Amsterdam. I was nervous that I’d have to spend the day on netting, but there was plenty of space to sit in the cockpit.

Their dog Dixie was ready for a day on the water. Notice that her life preserver has a handle on the back, which came in handy as she fell in while we were still at the dock.

Jimmy enjoyed scrambling along the edges of the netting to help untie us from the dock.

Hannah and Austin both sailed competitively while in college, so they are very sure-footed.
