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.

It was a beautiful October evening on the Pax River. Nothing fancy, just a nice night for sailing.

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!

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!

I continue to be amazed by the increased speed, performance, and ease of tacking with the new staysail!
