#26 - If you were going across the bridge in Solomons today and saw a sailboat, there is a good chance that it was us. It felt more like early November than late April, but the sun was out, the wind was favorable and Paula and I had a great afternoon on the Patuxent! Even with the water tanks filled for cruising, our 40-year old Cape Dory hit a top speed of 6.9 knots with just the main and the yankee up. It was great sailing indeed!
