Conditions at the start of the day were very sporty with up to 18 knot gusts and 2 ft seas. We motored to the entrance of the Chester River then put up sails at Eastern Neck and sailed to Langford Creek where we dropped sails and motor to find an anchorage that had a beach to walk Kona. We ended up around the corner from Langford Bay Marina.

17-6 knots of wind with choppy sea state. Beautiful day.

Winds were 5-12kn. 9 kn out of the slip from the South, blowing us off the dock. We had to loop the dock lines back to the boat to hold us straight in the slip. Wind was the same coming back in. Tossed the stern line and ran it back to the stern. The bow ran forward. We should have run it to the midship cleat. The rest of the sail was pretty great. No issues for our first sail of the season. Weather was building so we doused the sails and motored back home.

Sunny and breezy with 9-20 knots of wind.

Very light wind. Under 6 knots and mostly under 3. We flew the spinnaker in under a knot but were able to keep it full. It flew in wind angles of 80-120 even in lithe light winds.

Great day on the water with Dad and Linda. Forecast was for very light wind but had 5-12. Linda and Dad helmed most of the day and helped to raise and trim the sails.

Started the day with around 12 knots. Tried to go to the pump out at Osprey and it was a little too windy for just the two of us so we decided to stop on the way back in when the wind was better. We sailed with just the jib for the way out. The winds were gusting to 18 and Greg topped out at 5.8 with just the jib. The wind died down a bit so we raised the main and were able to get it up to 7 knots in 12 knots if wind.

We went out for our second trip on Brizo. We had light winds to start that dwindled throughout the day. Our goal was to make it to the Chester River. We got to the mouth when the wind changed directions then died. We hoisted the spinnaker just to figure out the process and were successful.

Light winds 3-8. We worked on maneuvers under power for a while then put up the sails. Great first day! Had some trouble raising the main when the batten got caught up in the lazy jacks. Got into and out of the slip on the first try.
