Autumn fun on the upper Chesapeake

I've spent nights underway, but I've never set the hook & slept aboard before - so this weekend we fixed that! Had a chill and relaxing Saturday afternoon grill & sail out to the anchorage at Still Pond where we cooked up some steaks and enjoyed a few good beers and great company. Sunday's sail home was a great experience builder, as we sailed the boat in higher winds than I'd had it before (12-15kts, gusting to 20), and in a fairly tight river channel. I got to pull a reef in while sailing for the first time, got the rail wet for the first time(surprisingly, the kids loved that part), and pulled off a clean slip entry with a stiff crosswind. All in all, a dream weekend on the boat!

This boat lived most of its life up in Long Island Sound and Cape Cod with previous owners - I hope to make many summer pilgrimages back there over the next few years!

What a wonderful adventure. My grandfather used to take us on a fall camping trip on his boat to Rock Hall. Really fond memories.

Fall is so great on the Chesapeake. Water is still nice, wind is fantastic, heat isn’t trying to kill you. Add friends, family, good food, adventure, and it doesn’t get much better.
