Near perfect day for a sail both weather wise and wind. Sailed out to the Potomac and past the Colonial Beach Town pier by a mile or so. I was out approximately 4 hours and covered 12 miles plus.

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.
