Paddled on Father's Day with Dave and Erin.
Century Club: Bob Ohler
#45 Paddled to the Camp Roosevelt pier. We got back in the dark. 2.02 miles.
When the opportunity came up for Dave and I to sail together, we both jumped on the opportunity. Dave handled the boat. I was mostly a passenger. We tacked several times before getting out into the middle of the Bay. Just before we reached the mid-channel mark, the wind died on us. We motor sailed back in the river, where we put up the yankee again and managed to sail most of the way back to Back Creek. It was definitely a "top day!"
I took easy today, easing back into it after a week away from the kayak. 1.07 miles.
#42 What started out as a nice breeze ending being a drifter. The RC shortened the course, but unfortunately not enough. We crossed the finish line in the dark, 1 minute 30 seconds before the time limit expired! I was on mainsheet trim the entire race.
1.16 miles running my triangle route around the buoy, to the bump-out zone, and back.
#40 - 2 miles to Camp Roosevelt and back. For a change, I had great paddling conditions and a good 2-mile run in the Bay.
Well, on a busy day, I waited too long, and I did not have favorable conditions for paddling. SE winds 15+ and the associated waves made for challenging paddling. It was another short trip.
On Mike's boat, I coached him on getting his new boat, sv Morning Star, in and out of the slip. He did great and he was really getting the hang of it by the time we were done. In the end, he was beaming and I was the proud coach.
#37 Under overcast skies and a light rain, Dave and I made the most of our time alone, paddling to the Breezy Point channel and back. It was just over 2.0 miles. Great times.
