WindRider17 Added to Fleet

Jason Trout & New WindRider 17
Jason Trout has recently purchased a Wind Rider 17 and has joined the Perdido Key Sailing Club. Jason drove all the way back from Texas with his new sailboat. Jason, McKean, Monica and Noah readied the boat for sailing Monday morning in the parking lot at Hub Stacey's, had a quick lunch at Hub's and then hit the waves along with the Esther-Annette. It was a great day of sailing. Jason's Wind Rider's maiden voyage included east and west along the ICW, around Isle de la Loz, west along Old River to the new Happy Harbor and then back to its beachside port at Sailmaker's Place. Jason was under the skilled direction of Captain McKean Smith. Captain Smith gave sailing directions to Jason, Carlos and Noah on this new addition to the Perdido Key Sailing Club.

Jason, welcome to the club.
