Sea trials

Tentatively took the boat for a test run this afternoon - very windy - in these conditions the little springer handles like a cork a a bathtub! I took the boat half way to stenson and then back up to Mercia marina to avoid being too far from base. The temperature didn't rise above 82 degrees f and there was no black smoke from the exhaust or air filter. I will give it another test before taking it out for the bank holiday weekend.
