Nice Friday and Saturday Wind, in low 60's both days

Took Lark out on Friday with a buddy; reefed the main and rolled the genoa out only to ~100%.  Worked well and kept us on our feet in 14 knots sustained with gusts to 21.  Enough wind to take us around the island and back home all within two hours.

 

Joined Winsome Ride for a daysail and had a wonderful time.  Put main and genoa on their furlers, which took some time with all the battens, and then only had light winds in Round Bay until after 45 minutes the wind picked up and we had 12-14 sustained.  Glorious Saturday sail!

Beautiful afternoon for kayaking

55 degrees and most, but not all, of the ice is finally gone. Could get past the Herald Harbor boat ramp today, which I couldn't yesterday, so that's progress. Ran into a sailing buddy also out on his kayak so we had a companionable time kayaking across the Severn and back. Felt like a cool fall day.

Nice afternoon for kayaking

High 40's were enough to entice me outside.  Could go much further than Tuesday, since the ice had melted all the way to the boat ramp.

Hard to kayak w so much ice

Snow still covered our beach, but it looked like I'd be able to kayak around the edges of the ice floe stretching across Valentine Creek.  Turned out not to be the case. Beyond the docks with bubblers I could not get through and had to come home.

January sailing

Was around 50 degrees so went sailing for about two hours in the afternoon. Delicious to be sailing in January.

Christmas Eve Sailing

Nothing like getting one last sail in on a 50 degree-plus day once I finished wrapping presents and before we headed out for Christmas Eve dinner.  Beautiful out there!

Thanksgiving-time Sailing

Went out with two guys on Sunday before Thanksgiving, right before driving to Dulles to get on a plane to London.  Had winds of 8-12 knots; great to be out there with three of us!
