Type of watercraft:

A light east wind along with an incoming tidal current and the best I could do was mostly go back and forth across the channel early on. This was fine with me and then I was rewarded with another Nonsuch returning to Hampton. Turning my attention to Art in his Nonsuch 26, I plotted an intercept course to say hello and take a few pictures.

The winds began to shift NE making it much easier to recover from my downwind distraction and make it into the north channel for Willoughby Bay. Dropping anchor at the east end, I did a little work on the boat and fished ahead of dinner catching 6 Croaker. It was their lucky day as I already had burgers for the grill.
