Aboard Barbara Roja on a very windy day. KXVX was the course.
Century Club: Susan StGeorge
First time kayaking on St George creek this year. No wind and temperatures in the 70s helped a lot. We kayaked down to the Ruddy Duck and back.
Out for theee hours and saw two other sailboats out
there. One boat had their spin up! It was windier than expected.
Forecast was saying very low wind but that didn't happen. We were able to edge out one boat in the end. Yay!
John, MaryLou, Rolla and i ventured out on a chilly Wednesday to practice our skills.
A last minute invitation to sail got me running for the boat! It was a beautiful day to sail around the Patuxent River with Mary Lou, Rolla and John.
Began the Frostbite series on Barbara Roja. Winds were strong the whole way to the bridge and back. Emergency on another boat due to motor failure and injured sailor. We took on the injured and Joe and I helped to boat sail back to a safe place on the pier.
Kayaked with two friends. Saw 2 spoon bills, king fisher, blue herons, stork, cardinal, alligators, turtles and other birds we could not identify.
Managed to find the boat at the club. Started out very calm. Once on the other side of the island the wind picked up the the captain insisted on raising the spin. Exciting! Terrifying!
I can't think of a better way to spend the morning. I managed to convince the captain of Kyle-Michelle to let me join them for today's oyster harvest. They lent me some boots and gloves and I dove into the task of culling. It was a beautiful day on the water!
