A Warm Day of Sailing in November (End of Season)


This is a simple post.  We had a wonderfully warm day of sailing on Saturday.  Temps were in the mid-70s with wind in the mid-teens.  Since we had pulled mostly everything off the boat last weekend, we just went down to Rock Hall for the day.  What a wonderful day it was. 


We did a final stop to top off fuel for the winter and do a pump out at Gratitude Marina.  


A number of boats were out sailing for the last day.  We set sails after reaching the #3 buoy coming out of Swan Creek and stayed in that vicinity (not quite reaching the Eastern channel on the bay) and just tacked back and forth for a few hours.





Then we headed in... our last approach into Osprey Point for the season.  (Initial weather reports show next week being 15 degrees colder... it's time to pack it in.)

We pulled the remaining items out of Seas The Day, set her up to be stable until she gets pulled by Gratitude Marina and then set about emptying the dock box for the winter.



Once everything was sorted and schlepped, it was time for a quick last supper at Osprey Point restaurant before heading back to Newark.
