Strong breeze from the west pushed me quickly out to the Potomac. I felt safe and invigorated much like aggressively skiing a black diamond back when I was young.

Dahlgren Naval Range Boat stopping by to let me know the range was open.
I was originally going to paddleboard today, but I couldn’t pass up a nice breeze hence I sailed out towards the Potomac until the Dahlgren Naval Range boat stopped by to let me know the range was open today and stay close to shore. Decided to play it safe and return home.

I'd rather be sailing
Put our pontoon boat, The Kiwi Kruzer, in the water today and motored out to the Potomac. It counts as a day on the water, but I’d rather be sailing.
