With a nice steady wind this morning and my newfound confidence thanks to Sail Solomon’s sailing lessons I took in June I couldn’t resist going out for a morning sail on Mattox Creek out towards the Potomac.  Taking the course of least resistance the wind pushed me towards the entrance of Monroe Bay.  A few hundred yards from the entrance I saw a pair of dolphins’ surface three times about 30 yards away.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take a picture of these magnificent mammals.
