Caribbean Cruise on Holland American’s Zuiderdam with stops in Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St Kitts, Tortola, Sint Maarten, Antigua, Martinique, Barbados, Tobago, Grenada, Aruba, Curacao, Jamacia, Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Grand Turk, and Key West.
One of the highlights of the trip for me was the 12-meter challenge in Sint Maartin where Dennis Conner’s Stars and Stripes raced against True North. I was a main grinder on True North, and we beat Stars and Stripes by a nose.
We took our pontoon boat over the Stepps Marinia for winter storage.
Nice fall afternoon for a sail to the Potomac River. I was one of 5 sailboats.
Went out for a nice sail on Mattox Creek for outing # 101,
Nice sail around Mattox Creek in overcast conditions with a light drizzle near the end of my sail. Fourth year that I’ve been a Century Club member. Thank you Spin Sheet Magazine for putting this together.
Another great day for a sail. Sailed out to the Potomac River to Colonial Beach.
Near perfect day to be out sailing on Mattox Creek.
Sail on Mattox Creek though the wind died on me so it was a relatively short sail.
Nice gentle breeze. Went to the entrance of Monroe Bay then to DM1 in Mattox Creek.
Near perfect early autumn sail out to the Potomac. Took about an hour to get out and about 2 hours to get back.
