Got the opportunity to sail with my cousin Steve Villager on his 33 foot 1973 Ranger of of Haleiwa Hawaii. Trade winds were mid teens with gusts to the upper 20’s. Steve likes to hang 2 fishing lines off the stern and I have him reeling in a Mahi Mahi. His brother Scott is on helming the boat. It was the wildest sailboat ride I’ve ever been on. We buried the rail on a number of gusts and on the down winder coming back, we hit 8-10 knots riding the waves. I’ll be posting more video of this ride after I get back to Philly. Enjoy this one clip.

The second Pirates and Wenches Weekend arrived to big crowds and a bit warmer weather but that didn’t slow any of the activities. This specific event was the dinghy beach plunder and reenactment of The Legend of Graybeard – PART II – The Abduction of Pearl. The nights previous event, Pirate’s Sea Shanty Sing-A-Long was shot on another camera and I’ll be posting that in the future. Many thanks to
Valhallas Pirates Valhallas Pirates and The Brigands to name just a few.

Nice quiet day on the Chesapeake Bay. Light winds and I’m about to let Samantha helm the boat while I grab my first brewski.
