It was a beautiful morning. We quickly bent on the sails,
finishing just before Dave and Lois arrived. We stowed their gear, reviewed the
location of the safety equipment and backed out of the slip. As we exited Old
Road Bay, with the little wind there was behind us, we unfurled the genny and motor
sailed north toward the C&D Canal. Ultimately the wind died so we furled
the genny in and continued to motor.
We refueled (a whole 5 gallons) at Schaffer’s in Chesapeake
City and continued through the canal. Just before the Delaware Bay we could see a shower ahead, visibility zero. Dave suggested we turn around for 7 minutes before continuing
east. We timed its passing perfectly and didn’t even get wet. We now headed to
the anchorage by the power plant to spend the night to wait out the forecasted
scattered thunderstorms which, of course,
arrived after midnight.
