-All aboard for our first trip on the Lucy III. The whole family was present and participating in the provisioning, loading and setting the sails. We departed Clayton for Grindstone Island to visit friends. All systems worked well as we eased out of our slip in the inner part of the French Bay docks. The locals are friendly here and the staff is 
excellent. We received many favorable comments on our traditional looking yawl with all of the gleaming brightwork (Sue had just applied a topcoat of high gloss polyurethane to the teak trim). We set all sails and headed North on a beam reach. We arrived at our destination in Aunt Jane's Bay an hour later and received a warm welcome from our friends the Holts and Larsons. This was followed by a wonderful picnic on the porch of the cottage. Later, Sue and I enjoyed a sunset return sail to Clayton. This was a nice touch to celebrate our anniversary. Sara and Stephanie returned later after enjoying a bonfire on the beach roasting marshmallows and making smores. The Larsons were very kind to return them to the marina later in the evening.
