Had to use my powerboat to tow my Harbor 20 sailboat from our home up the Severn River down to Annapolis on Friday night to be able to participate in Saturday's Leukemia Cup charity regatta.  Wind was 12-15 mph from the South, which was easy to motor into but would have taken us forever to short-tack through to get to Annapolis -- hence the use of our powerboat to tow the sailboat.  Everything proceeded fine until we got below the Naval Academy Bridge, whereupon the huge powerboat wakes reflected off the Naval Academy and bounced us all over the place, as if we were in a washing machine.  Manuvered through the mooring fields, which were pretty full given that it was a warm Friday evening, but luckily Annapolis Yacht Club's Sailing Center was in a bit of a lull -- we arrived after the beer can racing started, but before they returned.  Got our Harbor 20 battened down and then had a wonderful 30 mph run back up the Severn!
