2010 was an interesting year. We were busy and did not get a chance to complete the tasks we wanted to. The summer was very hot. I took 3 weeks off in June, thinking it would be good sailing weather, but it was very hot and there was hardly any wind. The dog days of summer came early.
Unfortunately we did not get the chance to sail much in September, October, or November, even though the weather was perfect. As my wife says, there is always next year. December was very cold so we had to winterize our boat early, but the last day of 2010 warmed right up. It was in mid-60's in North Carolina and it was a nice way to start the new year.
New Year's Day was a perfect day. There was an "Anything But Football Regatta" in Oriental.
Forty-seven sailboats participated in the regatta. Unfortunately we had already winterized our sailboat.
It would have been a lot of work to get it ready for one event. I wish we did.
Then we would have made number 48. So what's in store for 2011?
Well, we are planning on:
- Doing more with the NSA (Neuse Sailing Association)
- Anchoring out at South River
- Anchoring out at Cape Lookout
- Sailing to Southport, NC
In 2012, we can start planning on sailing in the fall.
