Type of watercraft:

Very light SW breeze as I slowly headed onto the channel at Fort Monroe. A container ship was inbound and while it appeared there wouldn't be any issues, I fired up the diesel anyway and was well out of the channel before it passed.
It was so nice on the water with temps in the mid 60's. Even with the light wind I was moving at over 4 knots, mostly due to the outgoing tidal current. Just off of Oceanview Beach after a brief calm, the winds picked up nicely and I was able to easily sail back to OPCM.
