Little to no wind on the Potomac for the regatta but the skies were overcast so at least we didn't get sunburned. The post-race party more than made up for the hum drum sailing conditions.

Fickle breeze and power boats not honoring the "no wake" zone of off Old Town Alexandria made for some bumpy sailing at times. Took my wife out for her first sail of the season.

Hot and almost no breeze but better than mowing the lawn!

I was going to race in the DISC Mt Vernon Boomerang but could not find any crew. Instead I went sailing by myself. Sunny day, warm and breezy. Took a picture of the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge which spans the Annacostia River connecting DC to MD.

Took a friend sailing. Perfect weather with wind gusting in the double digits. Got up to 7 knots with just a sliver of headsail to keep the boat balanced. Another friend sipping beer on the deck of the Old Dominion Boat Club in Alexandria, VA, took the picture below as we passed.
