Paddleboard to Stepp's Marina.
Went out after lunch for what I was planning to be an hour or so and it turned into 3 + hours. Perfect wind from the east pushed me to the part of Mattox Creek that the watermen leave their boats. I was having too much fun to come home so I continued out to about ½ across the Potomac and debated if I should continue to Cobb Island. I saw another sailboat behind me, so I turned around to chat with him a bit. The wind had died down a bit, so I decided to motor back home as I’ve been meaning to try to figure out the range of my kicker. I wish every day could be like today.
Afternoon sail to almost the Potomac
Not a whole lot of wind but it was great to be out sailing on Mattox Creek for an hour or so.
Paddleboard to the sunken sailboat in Mattox Creek
Spent about 2 hours sailing around Mattox Creek.
Took my friend Dale for his first ever sailboat sail on Mattox Creek.
Pontoon Boat to Dockside with friends.
I wasn't planning on going out today because it was so hot, 98 degrees, but the wind looked decent so I went out for a quick sail that turned into over 3 hours. Other than being a bit hot it was a great afternoon sail to Colonial Beach.
Absolutely perfect wind and weather conditions for sail # 100 of the season. Sailed out to DM 1 on Mattox Creek then back to DM 11. It's a whole lot easier getting in 100 outings when you are retired than working part time.
