Just a perfect day for a sail with a nice, steady breeze from the east.  I left about 11:30 AM and the easterly wind pushed be cross the Potomac to Cobb Island, no tacking necessary.  I turned around at Neale Sound Channel Light 2n and sailed back completing the 15+ mile trek in about 4 ½ hours.  Perhaps my most memorable sailing day yet.  The trip brought back fond memories of the first time I went to Cobb Island via boat with my neighbor Keith back in 2017 on my first boat, a 2004 Key West 19CC.
