Everyone we ran into at the docks the night before was surprised we were going out with the weather pattern and wind but it was beautiful. Overall the first day run was 4-6' seas for the first 50-80 miles but it then flattened out nicely. It was a good day to run the Post for our first shakedown run and she handled it perfectly. We cruised at 1750 rpm through everything doing 23-25 knots. Nothing else too interesting happened on day one as it was an easy cruise to St. Augustine.
