About two years ago I told you I was going to post some pictures of sailboats I owned/loved, well here they are.
15’ Lightning my second boat
This is on the Potomac down from D.C. I used to sail at night, the fuel barges coming up river used to scare the bejeezus out of me.

This is my last boat. The one that broke my heart. I owned it two years never got it in the water. I was on the road over three hundred days a year.
This is my 24’ Chesapeake Bay Sharpie. The boat I loved most. Gaff rigged sloop. Hard core sailing, no roller reefing, a storm coming I had to hand reef it.

The Fat Boy in the Sharpie. Severn River about seven miles up river from the Naval Accademy in Annapolis.
