Tuk haulout and sailing pics

Getting Tuk out of the flat was quite easy, with the help of a few friends, we were done in 10 minutes I guess. I was it had taken longer. There still is a large empty space in the living room now. What to do next? Sailing the Bug proves easy, and quite fast. I've been out in 15-20 knots of wind, and that was quite a challenge without a reef. I got up on a plane, but not for long. But it should be possible, and: I'm learning ;-)

Note the clogs, proud owner. (I look funny here as half of my face was temporarily paralized).
