We departed Herring Bay about 9 AM after a rolling night. The wind died down after dark and we were exposed to waves from the bay. We won’t be doing that again. The trip from Herring Bay was a windy one. You will see in the photos the chart plotter and other of our instruments showed a constant wind speed of 17 to 19 knots. At times the wind speed was gusting to 26 knots. That’s about 30 miles per hour. A good second day as we appreciate much better protection at this anchorage. Expect to enjoy a better night of sleep. We continue to learn so much about the ‘Blue Breeze’. Tomorrow we will continue south along the west side of the Chesapeake.
Great start! Lots to learn about the boat, navigation, and life on the water. Learning Curve – whew!
