Downwind sail until under the bridge then we had a nice reach. Gusty with rolly seas. Had one reef in for most of the day, had to put a second one in for a little while and reefed the head sail. Shook them all out after the bridge.

No wind. Motor home.

Delayed start and shortened course but enough wind to race. We saw 4-9 kn of wind and flew the spinnaker for 2 of the 3 legs. Preliminary results were 7/10. Couldn’t figure out why we were so slow after Creighill Light.

No wind but fishing was done, then wind, then rain and more fishing.

Light winds diminishing to no wind

Light wind sail tacking up the Chesapeake to Middle River.

Nice downwind sail home with a broken engine. Sailed back to the marina and then towed into slip.

When starting the engine at the dock, there was no water flow. After blowing out the line, a mangled jellyfish seemed to shoot out from the area of the intake. Engine worked great getting out to the bay. We had a great close hauled sail to back creek. After running the motor for 10 minutes it overheated and we had to sail onto the mooring ball. Thankfully Alan had experience with this and directed the show. This was my first time helming under sail in the dark. We got up to 7kn boat speed
