Grey Hound sailed off her anchor on Saturday after an aborted attempt on Friday to head south..... can you say square, steep chop ? ^^^^^ BUT, GH gave us a great upwind cruise from the Sassafras to the Chester River ! What a sail! There weren't alot of upwind boats (imagine that) but we were trucking upwind between 8-12 knts against current. We had a number of boats hail us as we were clawing upwind........ sailors radioed GH "upwind trimaran this is la Vita.... your tack was impressive, how fast are you going? Just wanted to compliment you! Have a nice sail!"
We saw Tri Dreamin' a Contour 34 with Terry & Clint (or Sue if you like!) out on the bay looking fast and sleek... with any luck we'll be able to hook up with them in the future.
Saturday was 51 nm sail with 27 tacks. Departure time was 10:30am at anchor in Queenstown Creek 4:40-5ish........ What a day!
Oh yeah!! Did we say "thank you" Cooper Canvas again!

Hey Anne and Dick, Terry and CLINT from Tri Dreaming (or you can call him Sue, LOL). Now you know why we turned north to head to Still Pond. That Chesapeake Bay Chop was something that day combined with the southerly breeze.
You guys looked great! Drop us an email on you whereabouts. We would love to get together.
BTW, we lived in Liverpool for a year. Loved the area, hated the snow.

Hi D n A,
Just checked your Blog for the first time in a long time. Good to hear your doing well. TTD, MK and I were talking about you guys after the hockey game last night. Crunch look pretty darn good this year:>
What are your Thanksgiving plans? We know your always welcome but with the baby on the way I think you've got bigger fish to fry:>
