Out on the Barba Roja for another sail while I was in SOMD. Sailed up to the Cove Point lighthouse and back. Got some more good practice on the help and learned a couple of things.

Out on Rascal to watch the (too early) sunset. Motored around to check out a nearby marina then sailed out into the harbor for a bit. Wind turned off so we motored up into the city to enjoy some nighttime boating.
Out on Dangerous for a Sunday frostbite in Solomon's. Good course and good to knock off the cobwebs after a month of not racing. Hit my 50th day on the water for this year which was my unofficial goal for the season. Thanks Jonathan for the picture.
Treated myself to a new paddleboard on an end of season sale. Took ti for a shakedown cruise to get in some mileage. Board rides well and I'm glad to be able to paddle again.
Out on Rascal for a relaxing Sunday sail before the early sunset. Had some good time on the helm downwind and starting to adjust to sailing in the cold. Glad to be back on the water after being out of town for a few weeks. Thanks Lynn and Maggie for the pictures as always.
On Rascal to enjoy the beautiful weather. Sailed out to White Rocks and back.
Last race of the season. Got out into the harbor where we found almost no wind so RC called the race. Disappointing to miss the last race of the series and main season but good time spent with a good crew. Thanks Lynn for the picture
Slow start into a shifty upwind leg. Wind turned off about halfway to the mark and moved around so we put a spin up to try and get some movement. Rain and fog cleared as the day went on but extremely light wind left us taking a slow crawl to the finish. Got to Fort McHenry and RC extended the finish time but with no chance of making it in time we retired. Still a good day on the water. Thanks Lynn for the pictures.
Last Wednesday on Eighth Deadly Sin for this season. Rainy and cold but strong tactics and a good crew turnout led to a strong finish.
Braved the rain for a quick race. Strong upwind legs and spin work but the bottom is in need of a deep cleaning so it was making us slower.
