Type of watercraft:
Sail
Got to the marina early but only 45 minutes before low tide. Usually that means I'll ground along a 200 foot section of the channel leading to the river. The breeze however, was from the south keeping the water level a little higher and the transducer depth at the slip indicated I would avoid getting stuck. Fingers cross I motored into the channel.
Spent a few hours sailing mostly in the no wake zone off Old Town. Practised reefing the main as the breeze kick up to 10 knots and cross decked the sheet so I could trim and helm from the high side. A few powerboats passed through my area and only one sailboat emerged from WSM as I returned. A relaxing solo sail.
