Started out around noon with very little wind and just floated a bit on my way to the Potomac. A gentle breeze picked up which brought me out to Maddox Creek marker #1 then the wind pretty much stopped. Decided to come in with the assistance of my 3.5 HP Tohatsu outboard when the wind really picked up and I was able to come in just under sail.

Heading out to the Potomac.
I always enjoy seeing the Ospreys
Karen actually enjoying a sailboat ride.
Perfect day, or so it seemed, to cruise out to the Potomac. Steady 7mph breeze from the east created a bit more chop on the Potomac than I was comfortable with so I sailed back into Mattox Creek. My wife Karen called me and asked if she could join me which she did. A little background, Karen was terrified of sailing and I used to beg her to just go out in flat water. Looks like she is coming around.

Colonial Beach
The wind was marginal starting out this moring but picked up and it turned out to be one of the best days yet to be out on the Potomac. Sailed from Mattox Creek to just past Colonial Beach.

Osprey's.
Went out for what I thought would be a very short afternoon sail but it turned out that there was just enough wind to have fun.

It doesn't get much better than this.
An absolutely perfect 7 knot breeze from the southwest enabled me to scoot back and forth our section of Mattox Creek.
