Wednesday night RC duty today, with surprisingly good breeze for July. We opted to send the fleet to the bridge, and despite some concern as to whether the fleet would make it back in time, it ended up being a great race and the perfect length to take advantage of the long days.

Out on the river with the rig down
Out for a sail on Dire Straits this evening. Great, breezy conditions, especially as I sailed south of Broome's Island, but as I was fully powered up on an upwind leg I saw the sail come crashing down! The knot on the upper spar, which I hadn't checked since tying it a couple months ago, worked itself loose and dropped the sail. No matter, I re-tied it and kept going. In the meantime the wind backed way off and I sailed a leisurely downwind leg home. All in a day's learning, and a good reminder to check on details.

Went out with Dion on Red Baron to calibrate the GPS again. We motored around the harbor for a bit, and got caught in the rain coming in. Dion slipped on the wet floor and twisted his ankle, and we both got drenched. Nothing a nice lunch at Trifecta couldn't fix, but nonetheless a bit of a dreary day on the boat.

Went for a morning paddle from SMSA to the bridge and back with Dewey and James. Interesting scenery to see the waters I so frequently sail from the slower, more connected perspective of a paddleboard. A nice way to spend a Saturday morning!

A quick AM paddle off the neighborhood ramp to start my day. As always a nice way to get going in the morning.

Headed out after work for a leisurely paddle up to Snow Hill and back. A nice way to unwind after a busy week at the office.

Ready for the spin hoist
Light air for tonight's Wednesday race. We got a decent spot on the line and held nice speed through the race, but couldn't quite get ahead of Clarke on the downwind leg, and ultimately settled to our frequent spot of 5th.

Out for my frequent lap down the neighborhood and back. Lovely views as always - I don't think it will ever get old.

Michael is in town for the weekend so we decided to take a lap on my beat-up canoe I picked up a while back. We rode up to Roslin Creek and back in continued sweltering heat. The boat rides nice, but definitely needs a bit of TLC.
