It was a super-hot day in the 90's but there was definitely a breeze, so I headed out. Looked like a good day to cross the Potomac to Cobb Island but the wind became pretty much nonexistent, so I ended up motoring back. Though I like the warm weather I’ll be glad when this heat wave is over.

Took the Pontoon boat out to get fuel but the Dahlgren Naval Range was open so we couldn't cross he Potomac and both Stepps and Dockside were out of fuel. Lesson learned, check before assuming anyone is open and has fuel.

Stronger winds than I normally go out it, maybe 8 or more, but felt confident with the skills I learned at Sail Solomons.

Not much wind today and it was hot, like 94 degrees and humid. I was out about an hour and didn't get very far but did get to use my new jib.
