Participated in a shakedown cruise of PSA's Pisces, which had been on the hard all week for inspections, a fresh coat of paint and topsides waxing and buffing. Beautiful afternoon for a sail.

Joined a crew of crazy PSA and SCOW sailors on "Luna," a 17' Flying Scot, for a pre-dawn meeting up of the clipper round the world race yachts as they made their way up the Washington Channel from the Wilson Bridge to the DC Wharf. Had lots of good interaction with the crews of these 70' racing yachts, as we sailed around, between, and up to them. One boat even tossed us a gift of coiled line!

Devoted this rare weekday maintenance day to "Vivace," as the other boats were in use. Most of the tasks were routine and the boat benefitted from the "TLC".
