We pulled the hook Saturday morning and headed out into the river, in search of the forecasted SE wind. We found it just south of the bridge and headed south to the basin, tacked several times until we made it out into the Bay. We sailed to the shelf on the other side of the channel, came back and sailed back under the Solomons bridge and into Mill Creek and anchored in Folks Cove #2. Another GREAT day of June sailing was entered into the books!

We got underway a little after 10:00, hoping to find the easterly breeze that was forecast. We made it north past Sotterly and St. Leonard CK. but we never got the breeze. We motored back to Mill Creek and anchored in Folks Cove 1. We went swimming, and got cleaned up afterwards. Pork chops on the grill for dinner!

Paddled south from the kayak ramp to the flag pole at Breezy Point. It was a good challenging trip.

After 2 days of heavy wind, the winds moderated. I backed out at 1:00 and returned at 3:30. I sailed beside my new friends Tyler & Max on their new to them Catalina 27. This was their first sail on their boat and they did a great job! We sailed near each other and took turns taking pictures of each other. The wind was "fluky" but every sailboat out there made the most of it!

I went out again tonight, making the most of the Bay and the wind that had died down. I went out past the osprey nest, watched the ospreys defend their territory against a heron and then came back to the beach.

For Father's Day, my son and daughter-in-law, gave me a really nice carbon-handled kayak paddle. I could not wait to try it so I went out just as it was getting dark. It is a literally a difference of night and day! Thanks kids!

I had a good morning on the kayak, heading north along the cliffs. Against a light breeze and no chop, I went about halfway to the scout camp and back. It was a good workout for the arms and shoulders.

Not our best day racing. Birchfield was on the RC boat, and Jonathan tested positive. Dewey did a great job on tge helm, but we were over early by 5 minutes and it became a practice evening on the water.
