Kayaking to Stepp’s Marina with Karen.
Century Club: AJ Batcheller
Went out for a 2-hour sail on Mattox Creek. Nice steady wind from the east.
Not much wind this afternoon but it was still enjoyable.
Morning sail in Mattox Creek to DM 4
Quick afternoon sail with winds a tad greater than 10 mph coming from the NW so the chop was very manageable.
I was relieved this morning that Bente survived being tied up for the night as opposed to being on the lift. Went for a nice mellow sail with light winds pushing me around at about 2 ½ mph out of Mattox Creek.
The BoatUS app mentioned a small craft advisory as they were predicting strong winds as the day progressed. It looked okay so I promised myself I’d only go out for a brief sail. The winds were close to perfect, and a brief sailed into a couple of hours. I could see the wind picking up and had no issue safely dropping the sails and motoring back to the dock. The water was a bit too choppy to use the boat lift hence I decided to tie the boat off rather than risk cracking the hull again. Lesson learned; I should have stuck to my original game plan of a brief sail.
Sailed again from Mattox Creek to the Monroe Bay DM 4 with temperatures in the low 70’s and 5 mph wind from the north.
Short kayak paddle to work on the boat lift. It took me less time to make the boatlift modification than it did for my offical photogropher to make it to location hence no picture of me actually working.
Out to the Potomac with Kaptain Karen on the Kiwi Kruiser.
