Finally The Day Has Arrived
After three years of endless frustrating boat upgrades and repairs, a pandemic, and skyrocketing fuel prices, we finally set sail at 07:24 this morning to embark on a dream that had been simmering for years. Leaving was a bittersweet experience. We were filled with excitement to cast off, but we were also sad to bid farewell to so many wonderful friends. As with everything in my life, nothing is ever easy.
When we pulled away this morning, we were greeted by a thick fog with a visibility of only about 400 yards. It was a completely new experience for us, and we had to play a unique game of water Frogger to navigate through the Bay Bridge shipping channel. Fortunately, the fog lifted about two hours later, and we were rewarded with a beautiful day on the Bay.
Our original plan was to anchor in Cockrill Creek, just off the Great Wicomico River. However, the pleasant weather prompted us to push on to the Little Wicomico River, just before the entrance to the Potomac River. It’s so peaceful here at anchor that I can’t help but think that Jim is envious!
Tomorrow, we’ll be setting sail for Solomons Island. Tiki Bar here we come!
