We set sail from Oxford around 9:30 heading East in very nice North winds. We made the entire trip of 21.1 NM on a single starboard tack. No motoring this time! Our route took us up Towne Creek, down the Tred Avon River, down the Choptank River, across the Chesapeake Bay and into Herring Bay.
There was a regatta, all boats under spinnaker that was headed our way. We were able to stay out of the way of these boats, but it helped that we were on a starboard tack. For you non-sailors, that means that we were the stand-on vessel (had right of way) of all these boats!
This was really something to see. A whole flock of birds hitting the surface where there were schools of bait fish.
The beach at
Herrington Harbour South
The marina has an Olympic size pool. This is a resort marina and a huge step above most. We had dinner poolside at Mango's. The lobster tempura was to die for!
Shiloh wading at the beach before we sailed home.
