Log #60 - Nansemond River Overnight, Saturday, October 22, 2011

Main Sailing Page     Previous Page     Next Page    

The weather looked like it was going to be clear and cool with moderate winds.
Dad and I got underway Saturday moring at around 10:00 AM and sailed ALL the way past our anchorage!
GPS "odometer" said we sailed 21 miles. It's not often that I get to completely sail all the way to a destination. That was nice!

Dad turned 81 this year and has decided that this will be his last overnight trip with me. I will certainly miss his company and help!

Here I am trying out my new camera adjustable mount. I thought the set up worked pretty good.

We went past our anchorage to look around a bit and then came back to anchor where the green meets the red. Green is the coming, red is returning.
