As a commercial boat, First Light has to be surveyed every three years. Took a marina neighbor and started our trip to Worton Creek with an ignominious grounding at the exit of our own home port! Needed to leave just a half hour earlier and would have made it out, but seeing as I was one of the first boats to leave the marina this year the silt was a little higher than I was expecting. So we left a few hours later giving me a chance to do some pre trip maintenance... Changed the oil and cleaned up the cabin. Overall a nice trip. Not much sailing as the 1-2 knots of wind didn't mean anything to our rate of travel. I think the max of 7.4 knots was from the current which ran opposite the predicted flow direction and rate.
