Day Two

We woke up only slightly damp to a beautiful morning on Harris Creek. We weighed anchor at 9AM to tack down the bay. Soon the wind was so strong, we reefed the main and raised the blade jib. I admit, we used the engine to get around Cove Point, then we had a great close reach into the Patuxent River, and then ran up Mill Creek past Solomon's Island. We anchored in the well protected Old House Cove, expecting a storm tonight. At anchor, we realized that the cabin had gotten very damp since the rail had been buried most of the day! As I write this, several sails and sheets are drying from the lifelines and boom :)
