Sunday 4/29 Our plan is to continue north again today. There is a noticeable NW wind in the marina
and not being familiar with local conditions we are speculating about what we
will find out on Chesapeake Bay. Wind predictions
are that it is supposed to calm down a bit after 1:00. We pushed off from the
dock at 10 and it ended up being a bit sloppier out there than we prefer. We had 2-3' waves with an occasional 5'. There were a couple other boats out there
with us also heading north; we aren't the only crazy ones. We arrived at the marina about 3:15, got
settled, enjoyed on shore showers at the marina bathrooms and made dinner
(tacos) on board. BTW the wind never did
calm down in the afternoon. In fact, we think it picked up!
Monday 4/30 We were on the fence again about heading out
into the bay with strong winds. We are
passing the mouth of the Potomic as well with lots of running room for NW
winds. We decided to stay put and we are
glad we did. We borrowed the courtesy
car and went into Deltaville and did some provisioning, took Millie for a good
walk, some boat chores and relaxed with some reading. We grilled a couple steaks and and enjoyed
dinner on board.
