Wednesday Night Racing
The light and variable breeze that we had all day strengthened to a cool 10-15 knots from the SW providing the Wednesday Night Racing fleet with a beautiful evening. Both Woodwinds were privately chartered by one company so the competition aboard was strong. Jen and I on both Woodwinds carefully set our strategies for a … Read more

What’s up dog?! Ben from the Flying Dog brewery, yo. The local gourmet market that paid for 70% of the tickets partied with us through sunset. Most of them resisted the urge to witness the Venus transit across the sun while it was still high in the sky. Ben was not to be out done … Read more
We’re always racing!
The light breeze was a challenge for our crew to keep the Woodwind II moving. Our guests were a private charter from a fairly large corporation and they were happy to be on the water and socialize. Ahead of us, Woodwind ghosted on a parallel course. The proximity of the vessels invited the leader of … Read more

Chick Watch 2012
No, it’s not what you’re thinking. Although the spring weather does bring many attractive people to Annapolis, we’ve been looking out for newborn osprey! We’ve been keeping tabs on some of the osprey homes in Annapolis’ harbor, on the Severn, and Back Creek. Many of these awesome nests are built upon day marks, pilings, and … Read more
Great Breeze
We had some great winds for sailing today. On our 11:00 sail we had a a bunch of girls from a private school do one of our girl scout programs, and they all did well and had fun sailing. Our 4:00 sail was action packed. We double reefed the mainsail and put on the storm … Read more
Another great day at the office
Any day on the water is a good day. We did 4 really nice sails today. We started small and the numbers built all day. On our 2nd sail a huge freighter was anchoring out in the bay and we were able to get close enough to see the anchor going down and the pilot … Read more
