Headed South

After three weeks in Solomons, we finally began the southbound journey. Hard to believe this is our third trip down the Waterway. We hope to stop at some of the places we missed the last two trips.

We left a 7am into forecast 2-3 ft seas with 15-20 kts of wind. It wasn't too bad in the beginning but the wind and seas began to pick up as we continue south. Pretty soon they were in the 4-5 ft range ("elephants") and off our port quarter. This made for a very "sporty" run down the Bay.

After a 10 hour trip, we dropped anchor off Urbanna, VA . The 20 mile trip up the Rappahannock River was very smooth and much needed. The 'harbor' looked pretty deserted when we arrived. After putting the boat back together from the washing machine/roller coater ride we hit the sack at 9pm.
