Century Club: AJ Batcheller

The weather hasn’t cooperated in almost a week making today’s sail even more enjoyable.  Nice steady breeze, just a few clouds, and temperatures in the 60’s.  Sailed to marker 4 just before Monroe Bay.

We decided to take the “Kiwi Kruiser” out this morning to practice our docking skills and were very surprised to find a cute furry critter, aka a $%&@en racoon, hunkered down in the middle toon.  You must look very closely to see his fur coat right in front of the motor but trust me he was there.  I was very content not to be bitten, scratched, or mauled hence I didn’t spend much time taking pictures.  Sometime between the time I jumped off the boat onto the dock to find a big stick, club, or surface to air missile launcher the racoon also hoped onto the dock and hid underneath it.  Good enough for me.  We took a nice, relaxing cruise around Mattox Creek and successfully brought her into the slip and onto the lift a few times.

Nice Sunday afternoon sail just short of the Monroe Bay entrance.

My wife went to the dark side today.  Short pontoon boat ride to the Potomac.
