The Bay was dead flat and I paddled north against the ebb tide before making the turn. (I’m really sore tonight following a TOUGH workout with The James Gang this morning!)

Into a freshening breeze and chop, I paddled SE towards the oyster sanctuary buoy. When the chilly water started coming over the bow, I turned back. It was good exercise paddling against the wind and waves. On a day that I trained with The James Gang, I was tired afterwards.

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

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!

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.

Next to Christmas, it's the happiest day of the year! Thanks to Mike for assisting me with the first docking of the year.
