What an extraordinary experience!! After a week of training under the legendary skipjack Captain Andy McCown, I had two weeks as her relief Captain exploring the waters of the Chester Review as part of the Echo Hill Outdoor School's Summer programs. Sailing a skipjack is... different. :)

I love sailing Windsong... she is a beautiful boat that happens to be owned by great friends...
I spent some time on her doing relief work for Captain Corey, but also will be doing the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race on her this year... stay tuned!

Yup. I do these too.
5/9: Sailboat ("Harmony) out of HHS. I don't remember which one this was, just that it was a big boat with engine issues.
4/19: "Amore", a mainship 430 out of Herrington Harbor North
11/20: Harmony again. She sold this time.
11/21 and 11/22: more trials on Amore. Still hasn't sold :(

Sometimes I get to drive a really nice motor yacht because people want to drink and have other people (i.e. me) take care of their boats). I don't mind... ;)

So I started off poorly this year in the sense that I jotted down a few things to add "eventually" to the Century Club board, but I didn't get the dates... Or just other random stuff, all on power boats (what can I say). Here we go:
At some point in the Spring, I helped Janet Neves (also on this list) move her boat to her new slip and provided some training.
Somewhere around that same time, a few of us went on a couple of evening dinghy rides around Spa and Back Creeks in Annapopolis. We might have been bar hopping... so forgive me for not remember this date... LOL.
I also took two trips this year (so far) and M/V Sojourn with George Potak. One trip was a run up to Annapolis in the late Spring, and the other was a trip over to Tilghman Island. That one was on 21 July... I remember that one!
On 6 September we took a quick spin in Herring Bay to knock the growth off the bottom...
