Nothing fancy. Paddled south to the BP line and back. My shoulders are getting better again.

#10 Wednesday night racing on BR in light air. Thankfully the race committee shortened the course!
Dave brought sandwiches and, along with the grandchildren we had a great time sailing together!
I had winds 15-20 on the Pax River. Thinking that the staysail and a full main would work well in these conditions, I was constantly hitting 6.5 to 7.5 knots. My top speed for the day was 8.0 knots! I should have taken a reef before I left the dock!
At dawn, paddled a triangular route out into the Bay, back to bump-out zone and back.
Between the bitter winter and another bout of health issues, once again, I'm off to a late start. I got out early this morning and quickly realized how rusty, tight, and out of shape I was. I paddled south to the first dock that juts into the Bay near the Breezy Point line, around, under, and then back to the launch zone.
Onboard Aloha Spirit, Mike and I got all the wind there was on the Patuxent!
Next to Christmas, it's the happiest day of the year! Thanks to Mike for assisting me with the first docking of the year.
A great day of racing with a crew of 7. Warm air, chilly air, light winds, gusts of 19+.
We took the afternoon Big Beard boat over to Buck Island, off of St Croix, USVI. The snorkeling was great and we had I great time. I decided to "pass" on the vodka punch on the boat after we all got out of the water.
