We just finished dinner, a choice between hamburger with cheese, or hamburger without cheese. Throw in a little rice and salad and we are living large.
We started the day before 7:00 upping the anchor at 6:45 and ghosting our way out of the anchorage before some of the other boats were stirring. It took a while to get back out on the bay but soon we were heading north. We plotted our waypoints and channel markers and set out toward them. There was a little chop on the bay in the morning, a few whitecaps here and there but nothing the was either troublesome or annoying. As the day wore on the chop subsided and at one point the bay was almost like glass. Calm and smooth sailing. Speaking of sailing, why is it that most of the "sailboats" I see are motoring and there isn't a sail in sight? Shouldn't they be called motor boats that happen to have sails? Just a rhetorical question.
We made it as far as the Patuxent River where we turned and found an anchorage in what is a very busy creek with at least eight different marinas, and, being a holiday weekend, many boats on the move and at anchor. Finding a spot wasn't as easy as it sounds. The place is quite full. We finally found a place and are now settled in for the night. Tomorrow will most likely be the last day of this really interesting, exciting and eventful journey. We hope to pull into our home port tomorrow afternoon and introduce Rogue to her new home. Hopefully tomorrow will be as uneventful as today and it will be smooth sailing into the Chester River and Lankford Bay.
