  • Sunset on the Magothy

Was at home looking at the beautiful evening and thought of sleeping outdoors with the full moon.  The boat sounded better than the yard so I grabbed a few things and headed out.  Once onboard I thought I ought to go for a sail but it was blowing close to 15 out in Whitehall Bay and I felt lazy so anchored in the elbow of Whitehall Creek near the horse pasture.

Got in another great swim, no jellies yet and the water was warm enough to enjoy.  Cockpit shower, beer and some cello made the day perfect.  Another clear sky night with the full moon above to sleep by.

Was up by 5:45 with the daylight and sailed silently back into the slip by 8am.

That same evening I got to sail with Tom P again up on the Magothy for the Wednesday Night Races.  Got to love summer!
