Sunrise on the water


The sun rising as we were heading east out of the Chesapeake Bay into the Atlantic.  Entering the ocean you can feel the bay chop turn into a rolling swell.   15-20 knot breeze,  a double reefed main,  jib to port and main to starboard, wing and wing running before the wind;  Janus sailed effortlessly toward the horizon.



There are many great places to explore and sail on this planet. One of them is where I am living, the southern Chesapeake Bay.  I have the luxury of bay and ocean sailing.  Steady breezes most of the year.  Mild winter weather allows for even great winter sailing and a chance to see migrating whales off the coast of Virginia Beach. Spring is almost here.  Warm and steady southerly breezes will be plentiful. I am looking forward to weeks and months of great sailing ahead.  The first of many planned adventures is coming in April. More info on this soon. 

A video we made. I hope you enjoy.

Happy Sailing  from Nikki and Ray
