cold and breezy.  winds 15-22 with gusts to 30. seas 1 foot most of the time but 2-3 on the way back in the channel. 

There was a carrier coming into Norfolk on our way out. once we got our sails up outside the Willoughby channel we were off. we were doing 7 knots most of the time. we made it to the back river inlet and then headed back. 

on the way back winds were building and we reefed the main. we didn't lose any speed. the winds continued to build and we reefed again. we had a sustained gust to 30 knots. once again really minimal change in speed. at one point we got up to 9 knots over ground. 

there was supposed to be a submarine going out as we got to the thimble shoals channel but we didn't see it. 

we were on a beam reach each way. 

it was a blast out in good wind (and not having to point to high).



Back River fun sail
