Sailing, Sailing

Well as you can see below - we do have an actual sailboat.
Doug has been figuring out how to get the mast up on the boat.
And as you can also see below - he figured it out.
 Once the mast was up it was easy to rig everything else.

 Sail going up - notice how cool that "DS" is on the sail.
Might those be Dougs initials?
Yes, but the boat is also called a Daysailer- hence the DS.

Now we really need to get this out on the lake.
Then we will be sailing, sailing.

P.S. We are taking suggestions for names for the boat.
We might have to christen her before we take her out.
