I saw a total of 7 sailboats on the Potomac but unable to take a picture to capture them all.

Just enough wind to make it to Ebb Tide Beach
Another picture of my Osprey friend.
Not much wind this afternoon but but had a nice sail down to Ebb Tide Beach and back. More boats than normal on the water today but that was fine with me. It was fun to watch families having a great time swimming off their boats and the screams of excitiment as they were being towed on water toys.

I can't pass up an Osprey picture opportunity.
Where the local crabbers start their day.
Way too much chop on the Potomac so I stayed in Mattox Creek today. Had a terrific morning sailing.

John in the Jon Boat.
This classic started right up and had more than enough pep.
Visiting friends this week in Frisco, NC. My friend John was kind enough to take me out in Pamlico Sound in his classic Alumacraft Jon Boat powered by an old 2hp Evinrude.

Floating
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.

Another fun day around Mattox Creek. WInd picked up considerably so I stayed close to home.
