His maiden voyage, with his new owners was a windless experience, but gave them chance to reef down without worry or concern and learn what would be the process when short sailing. With the sun out & no wind, drifting was the order of the day, so the kettle went on and lunch prepared.
Eventually boredom set in, so following the light lunch, the gentle purr of the Yanmar engine broke the silence and gently pushed him down stream at 4.5 knots. A school of Porpoises broke surface, so once again Norse King drifted, but they showed no interest in us and disappeared.
With the no prospect of any wind, he was returned to the Marina, with two very happy crew on board.
