Day 100! The earliest I've ever made it. Out today for a doublehanded sail on an Xp33 owned by a gentleman who found my name through the Crew Finder. Pleasant, if not especially breezy conditions as we headed out of the harbor gave way to breezy conditions in the Bay. We made our way across the Bay, only for the breeze to totally die and leave us drifting for an hour. Thankfully it finally filled back in and we sailed back across, up to Cove Point, and back home. Some language barriers and boat maintenace issues made for a bit of a challenge, but I mostly managed to make it happen. Interesting to spend some time on a modern hull shape, much more ergonomic than the classic plastic I tend to spend my days on.
