Isn't it just how it always goes? If you book a shore side event, it is bound to be a great sailing day.

On Sunday the 18th, Chesapeake Shorthanded Sailing Society (CHESSS) hosted one of its winter get togethers, This was was hosted jointly with the West River Sailing Association. Ant Stewart was the guest lecturer describing his single-handed voyage around the world in an open boat. If you haven't heard him speaking, it is really a great story and he is an amusing speaker. 

I got home too late to go for a sail. I almost never do this because it feels like sacrilege but given that it was still a beautiful day with the sun not too low and the temps quite bearable, I motored Synergy out into Mill Creek. I almost never head up the Creek past the fork at Martin's Cove, but with nothing better to do I motored up towards St. Margarets Road until the depth sounder suggested that it was probably time to head home again.
