Near perfect day for a sail both weather wise and wind.  Sailed out to the Potomac and past the Colonial Beach Town pier by a mile or so.  I was out approximately 4 hours and covered 12 miles plus.

Went out about 4:30 for an afternoon sail.  Not much wind but I did make past DM 6 but short of DM4.  Still had fun and another day on the water.

  • The fruits of the salvage operation.
  • Salvage operation at the sunken sailboat.
  1. 1
  2. 2

Karen and I kayaked to the sunken sailboat in hopes of salvaging some of the fittings.  Unfortunately, the boat had been abandoned too long and I was only able to loosen one fitting and managed to salvage the backstay shackle.  Oh well, I got a shackle and a day on the water out of it.

Strong breeze from the west pushed me quickly out to the Potomac.  I felt safe and invigorated much like aggressively skiing a black diamond back when I was young.

  • Dahlgren Naval Range Boat stopping by to let me know the range was open.

I was originally going to paddleboard today, but I couldn’t pass up a nice breeze hence I sailed out towards the Potomac until the Dahlgren Naval Range boat stopped by to let me know the range was open today and stay close to shore.  Decided to play it safe and return home.
