#95 SMSA Fall Invitational

It was a big weekend for Sailing team Barba Roja 73052! We placed 4th on Saturday, racing against a fleet of much faster boats around a 40-mile course in the Chesapeake Bay. We followed that up with the Fall Invitational on Sunday. Today, we had winds blowing 20, gusting 30 knots on the Patuxent River! The winds made for “spicy conditions!” All weekend long we sailed really well as a team!

Today marked my 95th day on the water this year, continuing in my pursuit of 100 days on the water and the SpinSheet Magazine Century Club!

#94 Hoopers Light Race

Think of it as one big triangle from Solomons to Hoopers Light to Point No Point to Solomons. It's just about 40 miles and the wind exceeded the forecast of light air to light breeze. We had a great time on board Barba Roja!

#92 Sailing with Mike

This was a great sail on the Pax River with Mike getting experience on the helm. We flew the staysail and a full main. It was the perfect sail plan for the 15-knot winds, but much more and I would have wanted a reef.

#90 Wednesday Night Practice on Barba Roja

We had great wind and I had some time on the helm tonight.  In fact, we had enough wind that we needed to reef the jib. A crew of 5 had a nice evening on the Pax River. #90!

#89 Single-Handed Sailing on a Light-Air Day

"Anyone can sail a boat when the wind is blowing. It takes a sailor to sail when the wind is light."  Glenn R. Ohler

On a day that would have made my father proud, I went and found the wind. I had to go out into the Bay to find it, but it was there, just as I had hoped.  I hit 4 knots on my way out to Green #77.  It was a nice, easy sail!
