Friday night YCCSC Race. With Greg, very light, used screacher for jib. Nice sunset and moonrise!
Evening SUP. Little Magothy tour. Lots of dead rockfish washed up on beach at Little Magothy inlet.
Before work. Little Magothy leisurely pace. Sky overcast again, perhaps this is smoke from the wildfires like last year. Today the air belonged to the Barn Swallows and Purple Martins - lots of low-level aerobatics, and hanging out on my masthead… Also an active pair of Kingfishers.
Wednesday Night MRSA Race. With Dan, a bit of dodgy forecast with TS watch and SCA, but ended up with light conditions in river, stayed in contact with F-33 until into 2nd lap, but still corrected for the win! Afterwards ran screacher out into Bay where the wind was up from the north, close reach at 14.5 kts before calling it a night.
Before work. Persimmon Pt to Little Magothy inlet middle marks and Little Magothy tour. Great Egret and Snowy Egrets. Noticed that the water at the beach is actually pretty clear for July.
