The First SCOW Raft Up of the Season

Well attended by the usual Sailing Club of Washington suspects and some great weather.

XO Marlan and Skipper Adam provided accomodations and anchor support.

Get 'er done!

Advancing on the fleet with an incremental move from DFL last week to 6th of 11 boats this week, the Red Neck Yacht Club drifts downwind in a lovely if light Spring night on the Potomac. Races are every Tuesday at the Washington Sailing Marina.

Final touches on a week's work.

The folks at Seaside Boat Works scoping out how to attach my RIB to the back of Seaquel. Shiny and freshly painted, lubed and certified, we're heading home today.

Right now it's Our Tern but soon it will be my turn

Awaiting the annual haul out for maintenance to be done in the coming week.


...and here is Seaquel on the hard for the week. Work done is bottom fairing and painting, maintenance of motor, hardware, rigging, custom lifeline gates and dinghy hardpoints and a good compounding and wax.

A great Gold Cup

The Washington St. Andrews Society Pipe Band and Colour Guard presented for the opening ceremony of this time honored Spring tradition in the horse country of Virginia. I'm the guy at far right.



Fortunately the band marched across the steeplechase course BEFORE any of the high strung horses made their own contribution to the grass beneath our feet. So I didn't have to learn how to get shit off my spats after all.
