April 17 Consolation Sail
  • The crew
  • Baltimore skyline at sunset

The April 16 DSC Wednesday Member Sail was cancelled due to high winds, so on Thursday, Hunter, Bhavani, Robert, Ben, and I piled into a Sonar and went for a trip around Northwest Harbor while the Thursday Night Racing was going on. Winds were light but fairly steady. The TNR racers looked a bit sad, but were made it out past Fell's Point and got back to the dock just before sunset.

April 9 Wednesday Member Sail

Winds were supposed to be light, but we ended up getting 10-15 knots instead a nice trip out to Fort McHenry and back before sunset in cool but not too cold weather.

March 29 Key Bridge Run

The forecast was for gusts up to 20 knots, but the actual wind conditions were quiet steady in the 10-15 knots range. We headed out a bit after 11am, and made it to the bridge with no issue. However, as we re-entered Northwest Harbor, we got hit with the 20-knot gusts that had been predicted. Bhavani was on the helm at the time and panicked, resulting in excessive heel that flooded the cockpit with water. I took over and fought our way back through the gusts to the dock.

First Sail of 2025
  • Sea like glass

Temperature was around 40F, but Robert and I decided to get 2025 off to a good start by sailing out to Fort McHenry and back. Winds were extremely light for the first half of the trip, taking us nearly 2 hours to make it to Canton. However, they picked up considerably after that, and we made it out to Fort McHenry and back to the docks in about hour after that, arriving just as the rain and sleet did.
