Picture(s) of the Day - Sunday, November 13, 2011
The Bay Bridge, Maryland
Sunset coming into Solomons, Maryland
We left Osprey Point around 7:30AM on Sunday morning. We knew it wasn’t the perfect day for
sailing. Fairly good winds at around 20 knots
but coming from the south. And of
course, we’re traveling south so we were into the wind the entire day. We didn’t raise the sails but chose to motor
for the day. If we had sailed, we would
have been tacking all day long and probably only gone half as far. Since our objective is to get to Florida, and
warmer weather, as soon as possible, we started the engine and put her on auto
pilot. We made it to Solomons just at
dusk. Found a place to stay for the
night in a nice sheltered port. The wind
is expected to stay the same for tomorrow with some expected showers. We plan to get to Norfolk by Tuesday
evening.
Our first night without internet and without shore
power. We’re running off the battery and
using candles to keep the cabin warm. I
think it will be an early night and probably and early start tomorrow. We’ll try to get as far as we can before the
forecasted rain begins.
So happy that you were able to celebrate this anniversary as you start this new chapter together. xoxo Don't get me started....
ReplyDeleteNot quite the start you had planned but good that you're going with the flow. Nice to get updates!!
Hey there Evelyn and Jens!
ReplyDeleteChesapeake bay is beautiful, isn't it. And... you're starting to get into warmer weather now. Happy sailing. Keep up with your daily log and new photos. Oh - your log idea is great. I stole the idea and created a blog for our winter in Florida for friends of ours who don't have Skype or Facebook (yes, believe it or not they exist!).
