Season 2 of Lana's Adventures
This year, the plan is to sail to Baltimore and then finally arrive in Bradenton, Fl.
July 29, 2010: The sail from Delaware City to the Sasafras River was pretty much uneventful, except for the fact that we grounded ourselves once and ran into the dock at the Skipjack Cove Yachting Resort. It is a good thing the bottom is sandy. During the course of our docking our dinghy briddle got caught in our motor propeller. As I got into the dinghy and prepared to un ... » read more

The race made up in part for the lack of wind.&nbs... » read more
