First sail of the year - The Sunfish One Fish for a ride out into the Bay, then into the Magothy. Fresh breeze, nice ride, got in before the storm front came in.

Sunset SUP. Little Magothy Inlet Marks to beach, then Little Magothy Tour. Tried new fin from the 28" board to see if different - board did feel less draggy with better glide. 26" board still off pace of 28" board.

Picked up a new to me SUP - a used Starboard Allstar 14x26. Had been wanting to try a one size narrower than my current 28" wide. The new board has the same shape as my current board, so any differences should be mostly due to width. Took it on an initial ride, did two actually - first was a Little Magothy tour, then did a short run up the shore and back. Was expecting better performance than I got. Maybe I'm too heavy for the width...

Finally out on the water for 2025! Afternoon SUP to the Little Magothy Inlet Marks to a LM Tour. Spotted a kayak in the marshes at the top of the river, pulled it out of the marsh and towed it home. Good to be back on the water!

I had an old aluminum skiff that was going to be for my kids, but that never worked out. So I was going to clean it up and sell it and make some money. But a kid in my neighborhood had taken an interest in my boat collection, and started to express a desire for his own watercraft. So I put together some stuff - boat, cover, yard trailer, smal outboard, oars, and a lot of advice on how to put some work into it and come out the other side with a boat to be proud of, and sold it to him for just enough for a kid to be vested in the project. Caught up with him later in the year, and he fixed it up beyond anything I had though of. Truly made it his own and was having a blast. In the end, this is one of, if not the best, my boating moments for 2025!

New Years Eve SUP. Little Magothy Inlet Marks, LM tour, Inlet Marks and beach. Chatted with waterfront friends and fishing neighbors. Bald Eagles and Kingfishers, and a beautiful and peaceful immersion in Mother Nature to close out the year, despite the forecast. 2024 boating is a wrap, getting 100 this year was tougher than others for no particular reasons and many particular reasons despite well laid plans at the beginning of the year. Not much sailing. Perhaps the New Year will be better. Cheers to all my Water Brethren here on the Spinsheet 100 and to all the ones not as well! Tomorrow we start again!

Sunset SUP. Liesurely ride out to the Little Magothy Inlet Marks to a LM tour. Very beautiful evening, took time to talk to neighbors fishing and just take things in. Not much for any birds around, except for the always active Kingfishers.
