My main goal was to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to get a coat of varnish my wood. I try to keep ahead of the UV, but the sunlight is always a step or two ahead of me. As always, things take longer than expected. What seems really warm to me, actually wasn't when it comes to drying varnish. But it was too nice a day to let that stop me. I just was real careful not to contact the tacky teak...

Sailed across the channel to Fort Monroe and back. Feeling warm in the sunshine, the plan was to anchor in Willoughby Bay to cook burgers on the grill. However, as the sun went down and my hands started to get cold, shore power and heat seemed like a better idea!
