Shorthanded Cruising

Pleasant cruise down the Bay
Peter Dezendorf

Firth of Tay needed to get her keel into the Atlantic. I sailed solo down and back, starting on Saturday, June 8th.. Anchored each night.

Solomons: Up Mill Creek

Piankatank River: Fishing Bay. Great cove, large, protected except from the west. Marina. Eight other boats.

VA Beach near Lynnhaven Inlet: Wind from the south, so protected. Until the wind turned to the west at 4:00 AM

Out on the Atlantic, then sail to Mobjack Bay: East River, not much to say.

Great Wicomico: Cove past Sandy Point. Good protection, about five other boats.

Solomons: Just north of Pax River Navy Base. Air show! F/A-18, F-35, E-6, EA-2D

HHN.


Participated in the MD Cures Cancer Race on Saturday, June 15th. A good week of sailing.
