Saturday we sailed in the Tri-Service race. The winds were 20+ knots but the water in Willoughby Bay wasn't too rough. Hard sailing day, we took Third in our fleet.

I joined my friend Scott on NOB Norfolk on his Hunter Legend 37.5 on Saturday morning for the Labor Day weekend. We traveled up to Mobjack Bay and anchored out on the East River just off Put In Creek. The weather was super windy on Saturday and fantastic wind and temp the rest of the time. Had a great weekend on the water!

We sailed tonight on my friends Catalina 38 out of Salt Ponds on the Southern Chesapeake Bay. Really nice evening with the clouds building and blocking the sunset. Still a nice sail!

I raced in the Cape Charles Cup this past weekend. Saturday was rainy and windy, 2 hour delay on the start. We finally started and the Jib Halyard failed after 50 yards! We withdrew and came back to the slip to re-run the halyard. Sundays race started slow and ended in big waves, rain and strong wind. I finished 3rd in my fleet but my whisker pole snapped in half just after I finished the race...Not a good weekend for the boat!

OPCYC held a social distancing race where all boats started 2 minutes apart! They also gave each boat 60 seconds credit at the start. You lost credit for each second elapsed before you crossed the start line. We won the start with 14 seconds between our start time and when I actually crossed the line. We took 5th over all on corrected time. Not great but a fun race!

We went out on my friends boat in very light air. It was supposed to be a race bt the race was called due to light air. It was more of a float than a sail!
