Beautiful morning. We beat out of the Sassafras and then set the spinnaker to run up the Northeast River. Approaching Turkey Point, Dobbs spied a tiny white sail zipping west from the Elk River shore - fellow centurion Dave Nestle! He brought his Wind Rider trimaran alongside to say hello.
We got a big wind shift shortly after, necessitating a spinnaker take-down and shift to close-hauled to proceed up the Northeast River. We temporarily anchored off our community beach at Red Point and rowed in so I could fetch our car down to NERYC. Dobbs met me there and we continued upriver to anchor. I'd read about someone having created a Chessie sculpture at the head of the river. We spotted it and Dobbs rowed us over to have a closer look. What fun that someone used their imagination and talents to gift the community with that!
