No men allowed on the 5 boats who participated on the Patuxent River. Lost the attachment to the spin haliard on the first set which pretty much stopped the boat. Able to raise with the alternate haliard and we had a good run with the spinnaker. We just barely found moshed in time at the 5 th boat.

Started out pretty rough from Stingray point with winds up to 20 so we reefed the main. Hoped for the wind to turn more easterly so that we could tac just once. That didn't happen. Winds fell off, shook out the main and then had to motor for awhile. Switched out the #3 for the #1 sail. Had beautiful wind finishing up the bay and sailing into the Patuxent for a spectacular sunset.

Started out at 7:15 am from Solomon's. We were able to sail about 3.5 hours at 7 kts until the wind changed. Then the winds picked up and we had to motor directly into the wind until we arrived at 5:45 pm. Stingray Point has a nice marina and we were able to use their grill to prepare our burgers.
