Supper in the slip. Angus Porterhouse steak, beans with Onions and Nueske's bacon, Raw Spinach Salad, home made Maryland Crab soup.
A great weekend with two great friends for company and crew.
Life just doesn't get any better.
Sailed up to Annapolis yesterday for a party with the Munsons last night Gorgeous day, gorgeous sail, good company. Can't ask for more than that.
Keith Henry, John Zimmerman crew.
Arrived safe. Only three projects.
Sail Repair, Bimini Repair, Roller Furling... that's the big one.
a beautiful calm morning here in Oxford.
Slept better last night. Still some sinus issues, but no where near as bad as it was in Deal Island.
Expecting 15-20 out of SW for our last romp home.
In Oxford. 49 miles in 9 hours, all under sail, averaged over 5 kts for the trip Peaked at 8.13 kts. Fantastic day on the water. Temps were perfect, winds were perfect, boat was superb, as always...
Fantastic.
Conditions perfect. Bright sunny day, 15 kts of breeze from the south to push us up the bay. life is good
De Boat, at anchor, Chance Harbor...
Departed Yesterday, about 1400. Had to provision, then Betsy and Keith helped me clean the boat.
So, after fighting with the jib for an hour before we 'really' got sailing, it was Dark before we got out of the Choptank.
Shortly after dark, the wind piped up to about 15 kts and we had a fantastic close hauled romp down the bay to Solomons.
Supper was New York Strip while underway.
Arrived Back Creek, 0130 this morning.
Woke 0900 this morning, worked on projects until noon and departed. This interesting looking Beneteau was there with a fold out swim platform and an aero design dodger.
Had a fantastic run across the bay. Approximately 15 kt winds again, this time on our starboard quarter. All the way to Deal island, a romping run. How often does that happen?
Arrived Chance Harbor 1800, Grilled Leg of Lamb for supper after Keith and Betsy left.
Arrived at our virtual anchorage, just off downtown Seattle, .85 nm SW of the Space Needle.
Approaching Anchorage.What an amazing area, as I read the coast pilots and look at the satellite photos of the sites my virtual cruise passes. I can not wait to do it for real.
running a route from Tacoma to Seattle, around Bainbridge Island
The only reason for having a land address, is a killer shop.
