Type of watercraft:
Sail
A relatively early start around 10 am for this 27 mile sail. Against an incoming tidal current and tacking back and forth in light winds it was slow going for the start. A little ways past Fort Monroe and able to turn north the rest of the day was easy cruising. Sailing into Mobjack and towards the East River with the wind almost dead behind things were rolling a bit. I found a nice spot just outside of Tabbs Creek for the night. Nice sunset, very colorful with smoke from Canadian fires adding to the color. With just a 300mm lens on a crop sensor I could see sunspots on the sun.
