It was a gusty and chilly northerly breeze for my 100th day on the water in 2021. We sailors six exciting races and I kept the boat right side up, well except for that one gybe.... anyway. It was a blast! Looking forward to another century in 2022.

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!
