Seems the weather finds me lately when I go sailing. Went out after the nasty weather yesterday and it was suppose to be a nice calm sail. Sailked down to Salt Ponds and tacked in and then the weather changed and I had to tack back out. Storms started coming in and winds picked up with gusty changing winds that made it really difficult to get back to the beach. Srtill a good day.

Sailed with Karen, Walt and Collette Bailey on their new to them Marlow Hunter 40. Sailed from Deltaville to Hampton Yacht Club. A little cool but with the full encolsure it was a very plesant trip. Full run under jib and motor. Averaged over 8 knots. Left Deltaville at 8 and arrived HYC at 1. Great trip.

Light winds around 9 knots and just enough chop on the Bay. Sailing with Jamie Chapman and Kelly Breiner. Kelly tried out her new sail and it works well. She was fast on upwind and even faster on downwind. Missed sailing on both Sunday and Monday.

Continued Sailing most of the days this week. Thursday was a day sail with Jamie Chapman. Friday was a solo sail. The kind of calm day on the bay that always keeps you coming back. Saturday Jamie and I went out with Scott Winbarger while he was trying out his new RS Aero. Light wind day even though it was suppose to be windy.
