back where she belongs

SPARTINA is back where she belongs on the Elizabeth River.  For several weeks cruise ships were coming every two or three days and my dock was blocked.  For the next couple of months less cruise ships and I have SPARTINA tied up on the waterfront.  How nice!  It is the perfect time for dawn and dusk sails and I hope to be out often.

I have done several day sails the past few weeks, rigging, launching and then returning to the ramp.  One sail included the HarborFest Parade of Sails where I saw some of my tall ship friends from the Chestertown down rigging.  

 This is Windy.com's heat map for right now.  Interesting and a little bit frightening.  Forecasts say temperatures should drop by tomorrow.  I hope so.
