Thank you, great friends Bub and April, for taking us jet skiing.  Only the second time I’ve been on a jet ski and first time I drove one.  Great fun but it’s not sailing.

  • My neighbors dock has been taking a beating from this years storms.
  • Not a very good picture but a young man around 12 or so was at the helm under adult supervision. I bet he'll remember this day for some time.

Not much wind but Karen and I went for about an hour sail on Mattox Creek.   Always fun when Karen joins me.

Adequate wind and not too hot so I went out for a 2 hour sail to Mattox Creek Marker 1 then to Monroe Bay Marker 4.

Not sure the exact wind speed but it was windier than normal, but I knew that going out.  Had a blast getting out to Mattox Creek marker 1.  Fighting waves and wind going back so I furled the jib and sailed back with the assistance of my outboard.  I’m feeling more comfortable sailing in windy conditions.

An almost magical sunset sail on Mattox Creek.  I should go out after dinner more often since the days are getting shorter and its cooler, 88, than it is during the day.

Went out for about 4 hours as far up the Potomac as the Alexander Graham Bell house.  Mixed wind, sometimes terrific, other times almost non-existant.
