Had hoped to go sailing, but phone calls kept me from getting out on the water, so went kayaking just at dusk.
Enjoyed another evening out; no boats out yet.
Went out 5:50-7:30 on a Sunday evening, and had a fine time in 3-7 knots of wind until the wind died and I motored on home. Blissfully ghosting along hearing the gurgle from the transom was wonderful; a 60 degree afternoon made it possible.
After work, went out to take the genoa off and put the main on. And then wondered if I had time to go sailing -- and I did! Main-only from 6:30-7:15 was delightful -- great to get out after 3 months of looking at the boat but not sailing her!
Low 50's with low breeze allowed me to get out on the kayak again, after several weeks with it being too cold. Beautiful!
High 50's with low breeze was enough to entice me out to two evening kayak trips. Great to get out on the boat again.
65 degree weather enticed me outside on the kayak, and it was beautiful. So nice that two folks were taking their powerboats out fishing. Wind west from 5 with gusts to 8 or 9, which kicked up some chop, but managed it well enough and stuck near the shore, given how cold the water still is.
Nice 57 degree afternoon encouraged me to go out. No boats moving at all, which was wonderful -- just ducks out and about, with the occasional goose honking around. Up Valentine Creek, over to Plum, out to the mouth of the Valentine where it meets the Severn, and home. Lovely to kayak in February!
