What a blast today! Got out with Wilbur in spicy weather to photograph the start of the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. I think it took us over an hour to motor back in very slowly, w/ impressive breeze + serious chop on the nose, but I had a ball!!

Taught ASS 101 three day course this week. Thoroughly enjoyabe, although rain/big breeze meant I taught a lot by sailing Back Creek, which is quite different from being out on Severn River!!

Taught ASA 101 sailing course this weekend, but today was a nor'easter w/ 23-38 knot winds. So, I hopped on our school tender with Ian to go up the Severn River for fun (+ got drenched!) 2 see what conditions were farther inland - totally sailable!

Unfortuantley, it's the getting on and off the school docks in a very angry sailing basin that made sailing prohibitive, but the tiny tender boat ride up the river for a good while was a blast!  :-)

Who doesn't love the Annapolis Sailboat Show???? I love not only attending and working it, but also spending time marveling at it from on the water, which I chose to do by going to and from the show by power boat. Fun!

I taught a private sailing lesson this moring and was able to pass a student who had worked hard to improve her skill levels. Her husband joined us (very helpful, as it was windy) but kindly left her to her own successful devices/achievement. :-)

Got out early for a boat ride on an overcast morning and was rewarded with watching/capturing a large container ship in the anchorage pulling anchor and heading up to Baltimore. Merchant marine work is ever ongoing/fascinating....

A blustery day on the Chesapeake Bay (small craft advisory, blowing and rough out), so I tucked into cruise around Fishing Creek just off of the Bay. Pretty houses in there, the Coast Guard Station and nicely sheltered views of Thomas Point Lighthouse!

So much fun getting out on the Chespeake Bay to take pictures of the gorgeous sailing vessel Libertad! A nice way to mark my 150th day on the water this season....

A weekend spent teaching an ASS 101 class at the Annapolis Sailing School always put me in a good mood. We had both light and more moderate air, and the students passed their tests with flying colors! Gratifying....
