On Wednesday night in Solomons, the forecast was for strong winds early before settling down as the race went on. The forecast was indeed correct, and we were ready! We started with reefed sails and put out more sail at the first mark. And, we had fun! #sailingteambarbaroja #poppabobscanvas

I went for a good, quick 1-mile kayak run north to the cliffs where there are multiple trees down. Good pace. Good workout.

After replacing the stay sail topping lift and the auto pilot belt, I decided to test the AP by motoring up the creek to the Holiday Inn and back. It works! Fantastic!

Against a chop and a steady breeze, I paddled to the Breezy Point property line and back.

#38 The forecast was for the wind to come up later in the afternoon, and it did. At Paula's encouraging, we headed to the boat. We made quick work of getting underway. We popped the main and yankee and sailed into the SW corner of the Solomons Basin. We tacked and sailed north, under the bridge and sailed straight ahead until the water started to get shallow. We tacked again, sailed back under the bridge, deep into the corner of the basin before tacking again and heading toward home. We put Aloha Spirit in the slip and enjoyed dinner in the cockpit, before heading for ice cream at Brrrr, our new favorite spot in Solomons! 2 1/2 hours of really relaxing sailing!

It was a great afternoon for a kayak run.... low 80's, only light wind out of the south. I paddled to the flagpole at Breezy Point and back. I hosed off the kayak when I got back.

On a light-air evening on the Pax River, with a short-handed but very talented crew, Sailing Team Barba Roja came together together to get the job done in the SMSA Wednesday Night Race!

For 2 days, Paula and I had spectacular weather on the Pax River. With northeasterly breezes both days, we spent a cool night on the hook anchored in a new, favorite spot in Battle Creek.

Good, tight racing at the mark tonight! (It was real close!) That’s me on the helm of Barba Roja. It’s truly an honor to be taking the wheel on this sailboat!
