How was your Weekend Sail?

That 6.6 (3rd down on the left) is Max Speed. It was a grand day on the water. A bit chilly but a grand day none-the-less.

I was doing 7 knots yesterday on a broad reach sailing across the chesapeake, great sailing day, but a 36 doing 7 is nothing compared to a 25D doing 6.6! Well done.

Laura Dekker, 15, sailing single-handed between the Galapagos and the Marquesas, covered 194 nautical miles in 24 hours a couple of days ago. That's an average of more than 8 knots.

It was a bit on the cool side up here with a high of 50. It was nice to be out none the less.

But it was also overcast with rain in the forecast. Wind was ESE, 10 knots and I was close hauled for about two hours; stbd tack, port tack, stbd tack and then sailed to the anchor. We spent the night at Peddocks I. (one of the Boston Harbor islands), where I rowed the dinghy in twice with the dogs.

We were alone in the anchorage; overnight temp was low 50s with torrential rain but that was in between the dinghy rowing. Sunday was fairly windless and we motored back with rain threatening again.

I rate the weekend an 8, only because there was no wind on Sunday and I couldn't sail back.
Fair winds, Neil
