With a 10AM start time I didn't have to get up at 5AM to drive to Anacortes-yeah! No slack, Garrett the surveyor drove up from Centralia! He is always the hardest working surveyor I've met. I was up for the big center-cockpit Hunter 45 survey and sail for Cedra and Kyle, with their daughter Chantrell. They are great parents with a delight sailor girl. Garrett and Kyle went through the boat well, and Chantrell took notes. As usual Russ drove, while I took pics of everyone, boats, the haul-out and a few odd details like the bow wave and anchor. I left in the soft Garrett shot in the settee locker with the Garmin controler, and the parked travel lift with the breakwater wall. Look at the boat-speed bubbles with the cleaner bottom. We lucked out, it was grey early, sprinkled briefly, and then we had plenty of puffy wind sailing in Guemes channel. Of course there were a few gotchas; Garrett caught the genoa sheet on the outside of the forestay, and I found the genoa pre-feeder caught on the pulpit and tucked it out of the way. Kyle is an experienced sailor, and was a little surprised by how well the boat sailed - what a good step up from their smaller Catalina, and another fun day on the water!  Thanks All, Lee
