Fun part of fostering oysters for the winter in cages under our dock is being able to plant them in the spring. Took our three cages full and dumped them into a bucket and drove to the designated spot between the two bridges on the Severn and dumped them overside. Fun!

Took a friend's dinghy out alone one evening, and had a great trip upwind on Round Bay towards the bridges. The wind dies on the way back but had a handy engine so started it right up and made it home.

Looked like we'd be able to get a nice dinghy ride in after work on a Thursday, but then the rain didn't hold off as it was forecast to, so we got a tad wet on the return,. Oh well!

Again on Himmel, a neighbor's Dehler 39. Enough wind to do course AVAV and not have to shorten it. Handled pit for third time.

Although I'd de-wintereized the powerboat a month before, it had less than half a tank, so i needed to fill it up, so took a ride to do just that. Beautiful out!

Had a great time on neighbor's recently-recovered American 14.6, riding out into Round Bay and having a good time practicing the start of a race and then going upwind and downwind from the starting buoy. Fun little boat!

Crewed on Dehler 39 again, this time doing pit, which was a revelation. Had a great race up and down Round Bay against a Dufour 40, trading who was ahead tack after tack. Exhilirating evening, with enough wind to keep the race going. Came across the line 30 seconds before the other boat (which we later learned beat us on corrected time). A great evening!

A buddy has an American 14.6, but had not used it in several years, and offered it to another neighbor. We spent 8 hours cleaning it, figuring out how to put up the shrouds, mast, and boom, and run the sheets. Launched it, and used the outboard (which worked!) to push it out on Valentine Creek to where there was wind, where we put up the main and then the jib and had a very nice first sail on the boat, which turned out to be nicely stable. Fun!

Another trip on neighbor's Dehler 39. Wonderful!
