“You know, our wives think we’re nuts.” Well, that may have been an appropriate quote for last night, but 5 of us ventured out on Barba Roja for a cold-air sunset, night sail. When given the chance, I took the helm and we sailed in the dark up and under the Solomons bridge where we gybed and headed back down the Patuxent River. Our top speed was 6.8 knots with just the Genoa sail. Sure, it was cold, but we enjoyed the sunset and we had the river to ourselves.
