Trip length:
1 day
Type of watercraft:
Sail
Although sometimes I just let the winds and current take me, frequently I set some sort of goal for the day. On this day it was just to sail across the channel into Willoughby Bay. On the way over I spotted Rick Natello and his Freedom 25 in the distance. New goal, catch him for an impromptu photo shoot.
While I was slowly gaining on him, it wasn't until he turned south and I could steer an intercept course. I got quite a few shots of him and he was able to photograph me. We sailed alongside as we entered Willoughby Bay on the Swells Point channel before I turned back towards Fort Monroe.
