We left Solomons at 0700 and faced
winds NE@10-15 knots. We actually sailed for a while until the wind
died a bit after we passed the Potomac. Still much of the day was
sailing which is a bit unusual for us. We tucked into Fishing Bay near
Deltaville and settled down to a nice evening anchorage.

Early in the morning, we sensed a swell out of the SE
which did not bode well for today's trip. Nevertheless, the courageous
crew left Fishing Bay and got the stuffing knocked out of them. So we
turned around and headed into Jackson Creek. Three other boats took our
lead but fortunately did not follow our grounding in the narrow channel
leading to the anchorage. We logged the first grounding of the season.
Fortunately, the wind blew us off and we secured a nicer anchorage,

The wind blew strong much of
today so we did not venture off the boat. SV Fantasy Island was at the
marina for repairs and we were invited for a birthday celebration. We
tried but the weather was too rough for a dinghy ride to the marina.
Guess we are not too brave. Weather tomorrow may be a bit rough with
wind and sea predictions looking pretty nasty. We will see. Good
practice for the rest of the season.
