Excellent day for a 4 hour sail.
  • Heading out to the Potomac.
  • I always enjoy seeing the Ospreys
  • Karen actually enjoying a sailboat ride.

Perfect day, or so it seemed, to cruise out to the Potomac.  Steady 7mph breeze from the east created a bit more chop on the Potomac than I was comfortable with so I sailed back into Mattox Creek.  My wife Karen called me and asked if she could join me which she did.  A little background, Karen was terrified of sailing and I used to beg her to just go out in flat water.  Looks like she is coming around.

Morning sail before the wind picked up too much

Another fun day around Mattox Creek.  WInd picked up considerably so I stayed close to home.

Great day for a 3+ hour sail
  • Colonial Beach

The wind was marginal starting out this moring but picked up and it turned out to be one of the best days yet to be out on the Potomac.  Sailed from Mattox Creek to just past Colonial Beach.
