Heading home 8.13.2011

After three great days of sailing and spending time together in three different ports, we set sail for home. With small craft advisories on the bay, we got an early start. Winds were 15-20 knots out of the South and we were headed North. The waves were 2-3 feet and really rolling. On our approach to Annapolis, we had to batten down the hatches as we were heading into a thunder storm. It rained quite heavily but we managed to stay dry under the bimini. All in all, we sailed 23.5 hours and covered over 100 NM.


The Captain!



We dragged a spoon the entire time and only caught this one little bluefish!


This was an excellent trip for us. Eileen and I both desperately needed this time away. Thanks to David and Renee who cared for Jamie and thanks to Ron and Jane who cared for grandma.

Looks like a great trip Chris! Grandma enjoyed her time with us, as did we enjoy having her. We even got her out on the Missy.

Hope to see you guys again soon, enjoy the rest of your boating season.
