Extended the Memorial Day weekend to Tuesday and sailed to Stepp’s Marina in the morning before heading back home for a short, 3 day workweek.

Cobb Island
Perfect day for sailing with a steady wind from the north so I decided to cross the Potomac to Cobb Island. About a 4 hour roundtrip sail.

Kayaking back home.
Too windy for sailing so just paddled around Mattox Creek. Checked out my neighbors boat that he is hoping to do the Great American Loop in.

I took my son in law for a morning sail to a friend’s house on Mattox Creek. First time I docked at a dock other than mine.

Some wind damage in my neighbor's front yard.
Morning sail around Mattox Creek to Stepps Marina before the wind picked up too much. Here’s a picture of a neighbor’s front yard. As you can see from the fallen tree we have had more than our fair share of very windy days.

But I was able to get in a quick sail.
The weather looked ominous.
I was able to get a Sunday morning sail in before the wind got too gusty.

Saturday AM sail
Saturday afternoon sail. Not to worry, I'm not sailing off the map, I just can't seem to rotate the picture.
I went for a quick Saturday morning sail before my friend came over to help me install my new jib. Went again in the afternoon with the new jib.

Quick evening sail before the sun went down.
Picture of the jib sock and sail blowing around.
It has been incredibly windy the past week. My neighbor texted me a picture of my boat on the lift with the jib sock flapping in the breeze along with the sail. Not in a million years would I have thought that wind could unzip the sail cover, but it did. The jib had seen better days and I had already purchased a replacement hence no big deal. Fortunately, the jib sock was not damaged. Went out for a quick sail with the ripped jib before the sun went down.
