Catching Up

I just received a photo of the Mahi I caught on the trip up from Florida on the Hylas.  Really good eating!

Aboard S/V Patriot off of Cape Hatteras

Last week I sailed on the Helberg Rassy in prep for the the 1500 and then went to the Corsica River on Eau de Vie for a Bastille Day party with the Corinthians.  There was not a lot of wind but we all did get to see the Log Canoe Races.  They were in the Chester River near the Corsica.  If you have never seen them they are a must.  You can check out the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to learn more about them.  They have no keel, but are kept from capsizing by the weight of the crew sitting at the end of long boards. When you tack, you need to do so slowly so the crew can come in, move the boards to the other side and hike out on them.
