day 2 in a Scarab 33 . 30mph winds on Galveston Bay
I didnt blow the doors off of anyone but we aired it out a bit. Wife is amazed at how much better the scarab rides on the bay as opposed to the Regal 32.....
Other than a gas gauge stuck on 2/3'rds which was really EMPTY and a quick tow by some great guys from JJR Electrical it was a pretty good day.

There was actually a donzi Classi in-between the two, but only for two seasons. Yesterday was the first time I had ever been out in any type of seas (well bay). Being able to power up through the chop and stay on top of the water was a great feeling. I have been reading through the forums here for a little over a year and always a bit well ... only a bit skeptical as to how the boats, exspecially the #1 rated Scarab , handled the big stuff. I may never get all the salt spray off the boat but it was a huge thrill getting up on top and feelin the boat pull away across the waves and out from under me. I am definately hooked.
Winds have died down a bit today so I'll be out honing my skills at a little faster running.
I can tell that I have much to learn getting the feel of my boat.
