Went out around 6:45 AM for a morning paddle on Mattox Creek before the remnants of Hurricane Ida come our way.

Went out about 11:00 AM with my wife for a sail out to the Potomac. Wind was marginal, particularly on the way back. Still had fun and a few laughs as well.

Mellow sail around Mattox Creek
Does anyone know how to replace the choke knob on a Tohatsu Outboard?
After unsuccessfully trying to replace the broken choke valve on my Tohatsu 3.5 HP outboard I decided to take a sail around Mattox Creek. Seemed like a little wind, then would pick up, then die down to nothing. Fun day on the water none the less.

Another scorcher of a day in Virginia. Went out for a sail on Mattox creek around 4:30 and pretty much the moment I went out a nice breeze greeted me. Went out to day marker 1 then made the back to marker 7 then back out to 3 again and back home just because.

Another hot and humid August Day. I went out on Mattox Creek around 3:00 PM for my 75th outing of the season. Pretty much no wind for the first 30 minutes, just floated and baked in the hot sun. Then, wtihout notice, the wind picked up nicely and it turned out to be yet another great day on the water.

Pretty strong wind from the east on Mattox Creek today so I didn't venture out very far. Pretty much stayed between day marker 4 and 7. Around the bend at Fox Point the wind was minimal. I'm certainly get more confident going out in stronger winds.

The morning looked perhaps a bit too windy coupled with a low tide so I decided to wait until after lunch to go out. Sailed up Mattox Creek about a mile or so then the wind became pretty much non - exisitant with the temperatures in the 90's. Sailed back non the less and the wind was better just off the Potomac.

Another near perfect day sailing on the Potomac. Went east for a change. I’m definitely getting more confidence in my sailing ability.
