Me paddleboarding and Karen kayaking on Mattox Creek this afternoon.
Century Club: AJ Batcheller
Nice, relaxing sail from our home on Mattox Creek to Colonial Beach which I’m guessing was about 7 miles round trip.
It rained most of this past week so just getting out for a brief sail on Mattox Creek with little wind was great.
Too much wind today for our sailing comfort level so we decided to go kayaking instead. We were able to paddle maybe 400 yards but the waves were crashing over Karen’s kayak, so we decided to make it a short outing.
Beautiful Sunday afternoon sail on Mattox Creek with Karen. Sailed for about 2 hours.
I haven’t sailed in 11 days, so I was chomping at the bit to go out. Once out the winds were stronger and gustier than I felt comfortable with so unfurled my jib and quickly was blown to DM 5. Decided to play it safe and furled the jib and motored back to my dock. They can’t all be perfect sail days.
Nice early evening paddlboard for me, Kayak for Karen, on Mattox Creek.
Cruise to Saint Clements island with visiting family.
