That Was A LONG Day Sail

Bill Blevins

We got an early start this morning and sailed off of our anchor behind New Point Comfort in Virginia. We made it to our turning mark in the Chesapeake Bay, expecting winds to build but they died. @april and I avoided the sun while we drifted for several hours. When the wind did pick up we put up the spinnaker for a nice long leg northeast. As we jibed northwest the sea state and winds built to 25 knots with 5 foot waves with a 4 second period. It was one reef is n the main and only the staysail for the rest of the trip. We changed our destination from the St. Mary’s River off of the Potomac to an anchorage in the Patuxent River about 25 miles further north. It was a nice sunset and night sail and the Wind Pilot was super helpful until we had to avoid the big ships in the main channel. All in all it was a great day of sailing, but really long since it started off so slowly.
