I launched in the hopes we would have some breeze, but sadly there was none. But is was a beautiful, calm day to drift around the harbor.

The first day of ILCA/Laser Frostbite season was cloudy with a nice chilly breeze. Many boats attended the event. I had two great races and a bunch of ok races. As always it is fun to be on the water with my friends. Looking forward to Sundays!

We spent the weekend in Savannah, GA while I attended a veterinary seminar. Took a ride on across the Savannah River on the free ferry so we can count a day in the water. You can walk right on with your carry out beverage. So cool seeing the giant container ships up close!
Ferry ride was so much fun we had to go again the next day! (After cocktails at the speakeasy)

We took advantage of a free weekend and took Terrapin to Oxford for the weekend. There was no breeze on Friday so we motored from Solomons to Oxford. We got to the Tred Avon River in time for a beautiful sunset. Saturday we took dinghy rides and explored town. The Halloween decorations were great! Scottish Highland Creamery was closed for the season but we discovered their ice cream is served by the new coffee shop (Oxford Social). After a coffee walk Sunday morning we hauled anchor and headed back south. It was a strong building southerly and after motor sailing most of the way we shut off the engine and tacked our way the rest of the way sailing all the way in to Spring Covr Marina. A great weekend cruise!

It was another epic weekend in Deltaville, VA for the Annual Chesapeake Laser Masters Regatta! Two days of racing, campfire with friends and an amazing gourmet dinner. It is the highlight of our racing season every year! Four races in light breeze. I placed 12th overal and won the first woman trophy. Such a blast and I can't wait until we do it again next year!

I took advantage of an unseasonably warm and calm morning for a lovely paddle on Back Creek. It must be boat show season since the creek was packed with snowbirds headed south. Another great day on the water in Annapolis!
