A brief paddle off Forest Landing before some other evening commitments. Warm conditions and great scenery, as always.

Out for a short sail this evening on Barba Roja. Light breeze and warm temps prevailed for our brief sail, but the rain did manage to catch up with us for a bit just before we got back to Back Creek. Still a nice relaxing evening on the water.

Today's route
The days are getting ever shorter, so I took a lap out to Barrett island across the river, probably for the last time this season. I tucked around the back side of the island to see the short causeway that serves as a driveway, then headed back across. Nice light-ish conditions to make the jump.

A gentle, golden sunset
Took a quick late-evening lap off Leonardtown Wharf out to green "9" off Mulberry Point and back. Pleasent, nearly windless conditions for a good time to enjoy the fresh air and do some thinking.

Out on the Hobie after doing some work
During a lovely garden party and crab feast, a friend asked me to help her replace the standing rigging on her Hobie 14. After the rigging was swapped, I took the boat for a little lap on St. George Creek. The boat is quick, and after my first ride on a catamaran I understand the appeal. Beautiful, light conditions on a goregous afternoon.

A quick paddle this morning up Back Creek to get moving before my plans later in the day. Pleasant, sunny, warm weather made for a great trip, and I got to enjoy checking out a number of AYC boats in town for the Annapolis to Solomons race.

Today's route
A nice long paddle off SMSA and up Mill Creek in very pleasant conditions. I headed along the shoreline and up to Brooks Cove, a small piece of water I hadn't previously visited. I enjoyed a great sunset on the front patio afterwards, and catching up with some folks from the club. Nice to be in town for the first weekend in almost two months.

Headed out in the drizzle
Out for a short, rainy sail on Barba Roja in almost no breeze to have fun and unwind after work. Despite the less than compelling conditions I had a nice time unwinding and catching up with some friends I've seen a lot this summer but haven't had a good chat with in a while. We tested a new to the boat staysail, which fits very well.

What a view!
Out for a sunset paddle off Clarke's Landing. The paddle itself was fine, but the true showstopper was the sky from the storm remnants moving in, which made for a truly jaw-dropping sunset. I'm so lucky to be able to enjoy views like these!
