Always a great day the first time you take it out each season start. For many years i had a very fixed schedule for my boat launching each season. i would be down there in March waiting for a nice day to paint the bottom and on the not so nice days do everything else that was needed. Most can be done from the boat after launch but you need the boat on poppets to paint the bottom (sail boat). I would launch the boat on April 1 no matter what! I would then head for Newport. Sometimes this was a hundred mile solo trip and sometimes just 20 miles depending where I stored it over the winter. What a great day! To be out there for the first time after about 4 months was always a big pleasure. Coldest water temps of the boating season so even on a sunny day you have to dress well. There are times when I really miss that boat!
