We brought our Buccaneer 18, Spanish Mackerel, to SSA to race AYC's Two Bridge Fiasco. We rigged her on Saturday afternoon and took a leisurely practice/cocktail sail around the Severn River. Sunday started too blustery and choppy for our little Spanish so we skipped the race ans opted to explore the creeks under sail. Later when the breeze laid down we threw in a few practice gybes. Maybe next year! Still a fun weekend on the water.

I finally managed to get a Wednesday evening off work and out on J/105 Blizzard to find a bunch of discouraged Wednesday night racers with no breeze. Although the racing was called off there was just enough breeze for a slow practice sail on a hot evening.

We made our first attempt at fishing for snakehead. Sadly we failed but we did catch a few spot bottom fishing on the Paxtuent River in the afternoon

We made an attempt to find the Spanish Mackerel in the bay just south of the Patuxent River. We found lots of big waves breaking over the bow anc breeze but no fish. It would have been a much better day for sailing!

A wonderful weekend in the Western Maryland mountains. Cool and shifty lake breezes provided some very competitive racing. Racing was abandoned when the wind died on Saturday but there was plenty of fun with wakeboards and pontune boats. Sunday the breeze filled in and we had four fun races. I ended up winning the regatta! What a fun weekend at the lake!
