End of Season, 2011

Sailing right after the bad weather was really different.  Nobody else on the water, heavy skies, dark turbid water full of debris.  The current going south was so strong that sailing north was almost impossible.

We did have one really serene night in Worton Creek, though I can't imagine how annoying it must be there during the summer season when Jellyfish Joe's or whatever that beachfront bar is hopping.   Also made a major breakthrough in anchoring out when we finally learned that we were making a very elementary mistake in using far too little chain on the anchor rode. Now we know, and knowing is in fact, half of the battle. 

Queequeg was having some serious issues with Matt being in the Dinghy so far away.  Fortunately she remains as ever, more afraid of the water than of anything else.  

Looking forward to a proper sailing season this year, with no major projects planned! Painting the hull is officially cancelled until next year.
