Beautiful day on the Potomac. Northwest 12-15 knot breeze with gusts up to 28 knots. Raced with both a reefed main and reacher and consistently hit speeds just over eight knots.

Beautiful day so I took Arcas for afternoon sail. Shifty, light breezes but I managed to get around. Saw a few other sailboats on the water. Relaxing.

Beating upwind on a beautiful day
Drizzly morning that changed to brilliant sunshine after the front moved through. A 12-15 knot NE breeze sent us down to Mt Vernon and back in less than 90 minutes under a reefed main.
We were the only boat to show up and race which made for a leisurely cruise!

Scary party photo!
Another almost wind less Tuesday night race. The post-race Luau party made up for the lousy sailing conditions.
