8/2/2025 - 80F, sunny, E@5-7. Not enough wind to sail. Motored all the way. Alternators are dead and some nav instruments not working. The Thunderstorm on 7/31 may have damaged the electronics. Anchored in Dividing Creek to raft up with friends overnight.

8/3/2025 - 80F, partly cloudy, light wind. Motored all the way home. Lots of boat traffic and big wakes, making it bouncy.

8/4/2025 - Took a friend out at the end of the day to experience boating at night. I setup a course to follow and demonstrated identifying lighted buoys and boats under way.
