Since we weee unable to cruise this weekend, we decided to bring the Spider home for a Sunday Funday dinghy cruise. It was a breezy and beautiful day in Annapolis!
we blew up the dinghy again the following Sunday. The trees were beautiful and we caught a glimpse of the paddling witches!
We took the Key West out on a breezy day to try and find some fish. No fish were caught but we did have a fun boat ride and a beautiful sunset.
It was a great road trip to Newport for the ILCA master NA's. Hosted by the New York Yacht Club every ten years, it is a fantastic event at a challenging venue. We had lots of cold wind, rain and current. But the view from Harbor Court is always worth the drive!
Sadly the tropical storm kept us from racing on Saturday, but we had five fun racing in a wide range of conditions on Sunday.
A fall weekend in the Key West. Tried some fishing and caught a glimpse of the boat docking competition on our way to lunch.
We had to change our vacation plans and drive to FBYC for this annual highlight of the ILCA calendar. The breeze was light in Saturday before the storms rolled in. Sunday there was no racing due to lack of wind and impending weather but I am counting it because I was rigged and ready to go. Always a great time in Fishing Bay!
With Terrapin's diesel out of commission, we are maximizing our fishing days on the Key West. Sadly the Spanish Mackerel have bugged out for the season. But we did some bottom fishing for spot and croaker as well as trolling for bluefish. We have learned to smoke the bluefish so life is good!
We took a nice evening paddle on our staycation. We drank canned margaritas at the mouth of Back Creek JB honor of Jimmy Buffett. Sadly, no photos were taken.
We had to scrap the plans for our southern bay cruise due to Terrapin's engine problems. So we came up with a new Labor Day weekend plan! Powerboat ride to the beach, stay at a waterfront Airbnb and fish on the way home. It worked out great as it was a flat, hot weekend perfect for powerboating. It is good to have options! We enjoyed the party at the New Point Comfort beach.
With Terrapin out of commission we headed out for an evening cruise on the Key West.
