Paddleboard on Mattox Creek
Century Club: AJ Batcheller
Karen was the skipper today. Nice afternoon cruise on the Potomac in the pontoon boat.
Let my good friend and retired Coast Guard officer Don take the helm of Bente my sailboat in the morning and I skippered our pontoon boat, Kiwi Kruizer, in the afternoon.
After lunch sail on Mattox Creek
Nice after lunch sail out to the Potomac and back.
I followed Karen on her kayak so she could show me where the eagles nest was located. I didn't see any eagles but now I know where to look. I'm halfway to 100.
Paddleboard to almost Stepp's Marina
Brief paddleboard, maybe 20 minutes, around Mattox Creek.
Excellent sailing conditions on Mattox Creek / Potomac River. Averaged just under 5 knots. All was well until the front cables of my boat lift let go. Oh well, I have plenty of Mount Gay.
I can’t thank my friend Bob enough for taking me out on his Bayliner 4788.
