Wednesday Racing...no wind

It's another Wednesday Night and I'm getting the SCOW racers off on a windless night alas.

Seaquel is in her new home

After waiting out the storm, the crew and I motored Seaquel to Solomons Island for the first night and then to the slip where Big Ease was and Seaquel fit perfectly, even with Adam's RIB still in the slip. Here are some pics of the trip and the boat. Here I am taking a break from typing up this blog.


The view from the front porch on a linoleum flat bay after Hurricane Hanna came to town and took all the wind with her.





Here's the view from the helm as we motor from the Northern Neck to Solomons Island, MD.





With the boat parked and secure, it's time to be hospitable...


Tea anyone?

Hanna is upon us
Now only a tropical storm Hanna is pushing 50 knots maxand here in the cove I feel an occasional 40. The boat is fine sheltered from the surging water so far. High tideand a strong complementary breeze is a few more hours away.

Sitting in my office...

...tracking Hanna

Trying to decide if I can pick up my boat in the face of the first of three named winds coming our way in the next fortnite.
Saturday I should be in Solomons after sailing since daylight from the Northern Neck.
Sunday is the last leg getting into the marina before dark and should be windless.
Great sailing albeit rainy is forecast for Saturday but after a boisterous Friday overnight as Hanna's remains scatter across the area.
