Helped get the winter cover off and folded, filled up the gas, got the engine started and batteries charged up while doing some other cleaning and prep for the BCYA season.

Went with Jonathan to catch the last of the warm weather before it got cold again. Went partway out to the river but turned around because of the strong wind. Ducked up in another creek then went back to the dock before the temps dropped too much.

Out on Red Baron (Olson 29) for the first SMSA frostbite race of the season. RC set an engaging course and moderately heavy wind kept things interesting. Did some work at the mast and foredeck including troubleshooting a difficult sail change. Finished 6th out of 10 which was slower than I expected based on how the race felt. Glad to be back on the water and looking forward to a good season! Thanks Steve for the picture

Cold night on the Barba Roja for my last sail of the year. Wind was very light so we motored up to the bridge and were able to roll out the headsail briefly on the way home. Good end to the 2024 season and looking forward to getting back out on the water next year.

Came down the road for Thanksgiving and was able to get in a quick sail on my way down. Ran across the basin in Solomons and back as the sun was going down. Good practice time on the helm.

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.
