The morning looked perhaps a bit too windy coupled with a low tide so I decided to wait until after lunch to go out. Sailed up Mattox Creek about a mile or so then the wind became pretty much non - exisitant with the temperatures in the 90's. Sailed back non the less and the wind was better just off the Potomac.

Another near perfect day sailing on the Potomac. Went east for a change. I’m definitely getting more confidence in my sailing ability.

When I went out the other day I discovered that I had erroneously left my Under Armor bike app open which I discovered will also track my statistics on the water.
Perfect day for an 11+ mile sail on the Potomac. Nice steady wind got me out and then the wind really picked up but I was able to get back home without incident.

The last time I sailed was on July 8th when I cracked the hull of my sailboat and just got the boat back yesterday. Not much wind today but it was just so nice to be out on the water.

Motoring back home from Stepps Marina.
The cracked hull on my sailboat has been fixed and I motored it to our pier from Stepp's Marina.

Kayaking on a Mountain Lake near Sheridan, Montana
The scenery was breathtaking kayaking on a lake in Cluster Gallatin National Forest. Unfortunately I’m not able to upload some spectacular pictures.
