We got a late start after replacing the prop shaft keyway to the transmission coupling, a few errands and getting water and fueling up Avemar on Monday. We had winds from behind all day but less than 12 knots. We managed to gybe up the Bay and sailed from Solomons to the Smith Point light. Then winds dropped below 6 knots and boat speed went under 3 knots so the engine came on for the last 7 nautical miles. We anchored in 40 feet by the Naval Academy and crashed for a solid night’s sleep! A fun and calm day overall and well spend a week seeing friends and exploring Annapolis before heading further north!
