Mast Installed, Water Heater Fun, Sails On, Test Sail and More! | S2E9

In this episode, Saros gets her mast installed and her sails on.  Plus, we take her out for our VERY FIRST SAIL!  Along with finally getting out on the lake, we learn even more about our water heater, and get some other boat work done. The more we are on Saros, the more thankful we are for our decision to take these years until we can become full-time live-aboards to do some serious learning.  Any and all feedback is welcomed!
