Sailing past the Colonial Beach boardwalk.
It feels like September. There aren't all that many boats around Colonial Beach even in the summer but now that we are past Labor Day even fewer. With the sun being lower there is an abundance of stars on the water. The wind started out a little weak but once I got past Day Marker 4 the wind was steady and I was able to cleat my sails and with my tiller clutch locked pretty much just sit and watch the scenery go by as I sailed past the boardwalk at Colonial Beach, grinning from ear to ear as to how lucky I am. The wind wasn’t as cooperative on the way home and I ended up motoring back the last 1.5 miles. Another great day on the water!
