The fruits of the salvage operation.
Salvage operation at the sunken sailboat.
Karen and I kayaked to the sunken sailboat in hopes of salvaging some of the fittings. Unfortunately, the boat had been abandoned too long and I was only able to loosen one fitting and managed to salvage the backstay shackle. Oh well, I got a shackle and a day on the water out of it.

Strong breeze from the west pushed me quickly out to the Potomac. I felt safe and invigorated much like aggressively skiing a black diamond back when I was young.

Dahlgren Naval Range Boat stopping by to let me know the range was open.
I was originally going to paddleboard today, but I couldn’t pass up a nice breeze hence I sailed out towards the Potomac until the Dahlgren Naval Range boat stopped by to let me know the range was open today and stay close to shore. Decided to play it safe and return home.

Just me and a couple of watermen on the water today.
Just enough wind to move me around Mattox Creek at about 3 knots.

I'd rather be sailing
Put our pontoon boat, The Kiwi Kruzer, in the water today and motored out to the Potomac. It counts as a day on the water, but I’d rather be sailing.
