Finally got a spanking clear day with 8-12 knots of wind this afternoon. Busting high 6's & low 7's with spray over the bow like its supposed to be!. Looking forward to Fall Sailing!
It sure seemed like a long hot & windless season here on the upper Chesapeake. The salt is much further north this year. We have barnacles by the hundreds where there might have been a dozen in past years. The prop was two round lobes of the little buggers last week. Had to dive with a putty knife because the boat would hardly move under power & way out of balance. They are also laughing at my fresh Micron Extra bottom job this spring.
I'll be looking for a prop & shaft anti fouling product after this season.
