Single-handed 5-7-2011

After a rough week at work, I took the opportunity to head out for a sail. Winds were pretty steady at 7-10 knots with some occasional puffs to 14 knots. I enjoyed some lunch and some blue light specials during my 17.3 NM journey! Great day to be out on the water.


Heading toward Thomas Point Lighthouse at 4.9 knots



This is Thomas Point Lighthouse, about 6 or 7 miles South from Annapolis




A video of my approach to TPL:



Leaving TPL to stern:







Prem Veena, a container ship from Singapore anchored just outside the shipping channel



229 meters by 32 meters (751 foot LOA, 105' Beam, just under 83,000 Tons dead weight)




Here is a video of Prem Veena:
