Silence went back into the water yesterday morning, after a week on dry land. She has a nice clean bottom, and freshly applied poliglow (special thanks to Joe for his help on Saturday).
We were lucky to be in Annapolis yesterday, since it was also the day of the Blue Angels rehearsal flight at the Naval Academy. We anchored in the harbor for the show, then sailed down to the West River late in the afternoon. We had 15 knots of breeze from the NW, so we saw all points of sail, mostly on starboard. We peaked at 8.2 knots of boatspeed, and spent lot's of time in the mid 7s. Excellent sailing!
