Saturday, 21May2011: Waukegan

Weather:  Sunny and pleasant.  Winds calm, little waves.

Kelly is new to sailing/boating so introducing her slowly.  Took Kelly and the dogs out for an afternoon motor outside the harbor on Lake Michigan.  Practiced a man overboard with a fender.  Initially, the dogs were below but one away from the harbor, we killed the engine and allowed them up.  They seemed to have little problem with being on the water.  Initially, Kelly did not care for them going out on the amas, but relaxed.

After a bit, fired up the engine and motored around, yanking and banking, getting used to the handling then headed back in.  Stowed the dogs prior to harbor entry.  Starboard side ama is more difficult to extend or retract than port.
