Sailed out towards the Potomac but the wind died hence I turned around to come back.  Wind picked up again, but a couple hours of sailing was fine.

  • A pair of Osprey in Monroe Bay.
  • Stringers Marina & Yacht Center

Couldn’t resist going out for a sail this beautiful late May afternoon.  With the wind coming from the north, made perfect conditions for sailing into Monroe Bay.

  • Entrance to Monroe Bay.
  • The Miss Ann. Google it, she has quite a history.
  • One of my favorite places to eat in Colonial Beach, The Icehouse Brewery

Though I’ve been into Monroe Bay countless times in power boats I don’t ever recall going in very far by sailboat until today.  The wind speed and direction were conducive to going back about a mile which for all intensive purposes is the end of navigable waters.

  • Eagle
  • I wasn't the only one going out for a sail
  • Sailed over 2 hours and covered over 11 miles.

Nice wind to start and sailed out to Monroe Bay DM 2 and they the back part of Mattox Creek.  Wind really picked up, but all things considered did okay.  Great day for picture taking.
