I talked my younger son into going for a sail with me! It was a pretty day with 12-14 knot winds that slowly died out on us. Always a great day with one of my kids on the water!

I sailed with a friend on his Catalina 38, Andiamo for the '25 CCCup. We did ok and had a great time! Can't wait to do it again next year!
I traveled on a friend's boat to Cape Charles for the 4th. We had a great time and the weather actually cooperated! The temps were lower and the humidity was great. We did end up motoring over but had a really nice sail back in 10-15 knots on the beam.
We left Ft Monroe Friday for Portsmouth. We had a great time both Friday and Saturday evenings at the race parties! We can forgive the weather raining on us as we were awarded 3 place in the Cruising 1 fleet! The awards are insulated cups! I think having a functionl trophy is great! I don't need trophys on the shelf! Sunday was a motor home with a surprising 18-20 knot breeze crossing the harbor.
We went out about 5pm with a light wind. I was able to fly a new to me asemetrical spinnaker for the first time. The wind finally fell out completely and we motored back to the slip about 7:30.
I sailed on a friends Hunter 37.5 named Old Crow for the Southern Bay Race Week. We left his slip on Friday heading to Hampton Yacht Club. We raced Saturday in 20-30 knots, we got a 4th place. Sunday we sailed in 5 knots and earned a 2nd. We were surprised to recieve 2nd overall for the weekend! We sailed back to his slip Monday, dodging Submarines tugs and crain barges. Had a good weekend!
My son Adam and I went out ont eh bay for a couple of hours. Beautiful day with light winds.
Scotty and I took another nice day and went for a sail
