#88 This was probably the coldest October sailing I have ever done! With a crew of 6, with me on main trim, we sailed out into the Bay, made the turn, and headed home in the dark. Did I say it was cold? It was!

#87 How else would sailors celebrate their anniversary, than by going sailing, of course? On a breezy day, with winds blowing right down the river, Paula and I sailed under full main and staysail, staying in the river, but we could have used a reef!

#84 For the first time since August, I sailed single-handed today. I had all three sails up, and then the wind died before I could make the Solomons bridge. Still, it is great to be getting my mojo back!

Steve Birchfield did it again. He got me back out on the water after a surgery. It was great to be back out there and as an extra bonus, we saw Dave Ohler making a powerboat delivery.

We took out the Grampian and sailed the Rhode and West Rivers, until the clock said that it was time to head back. We had great wind and temps on the river!
