  • I have never seen this sailboat move. Perhaps abandoned?

Near perfect day to sail around Mattox Creek.  Home to DM 4 to DM 11 and back home again.

  • I can't resist taking a picture of the Osprey if given an opportunity.

Quick afternoon sail with winds a tad greater than 10 mph coming from the NW so the chop was very manageable.

  • Mellow Saturday morning sail

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.
