Son Pete came up from NC to join me for our last CHESSS race of the season and a few days on "Old Blue". Had a light air run down toward W. River and eventually had to motor for a rendezvous with the CHESSS gang. The wind was still super light the next day for the race but we managed to get off and going around the buoys with Pete and I trading the helm back and forth to the person on the low side. We came in second, which was a happy surprise.
After the finish we tried to sail to Bloody Point with Wye River as the target destination but the wind kept getting lighter and we ended up aborting and heading back to W. River. The nights were cold but we had a full moon each night and a very memorable mini-cruise.
