Blue and Gold Captains bid farewell to Salt Ponds with a view of Doc on the Dock waving godspeed. Underway at 1045 we motored ahead of a 3 foot swell and 20 knot NE wind  Enjoyed some spread eagle time on the foredeck wrestling with  the jib  Arrived at home base around 1330 just as the rain started to fall..  Lunch at Chili's.

Underway with a crew of two around 1 p.m. for a lazy sail up to Salt Ponds. Target: the Burwellian Seafood Fest. Wind from SW at 10+ with a following sea. Eased up to TS channel and then over to the fishing fleet east of Ft. Wool. A few inadvertant jibes later and we were skimming north across the channel past Ft. Monroe and Buckroe. Lack of sustenance became of factor so some prostration to the tunes of JT's best helped to ease the quease. Turned into Salt Ponds around 2:45 p.m. arriving to cheers from the triple deck resort crowd on Channel Lane and a welcome Gator Flag. All turned out quite well in the end after a few Horse's Necks, Jack the chompin' cheerleader, some shrimp and fish, and a brilliant victory over the Cajun Tigers.
