Fun overnight from Deltaville to Mill Creek anchorage, off the Great Wicomico. Mainly broad reach sailing each way, with winds building each day: up to 20 knots on the way north, and up to 15 knots on the way south. Swells built at the river entrances with some breaking waves there, but otherwise it was a smooth trip.

Two half-day sails around the mouth of the Rappahannock and into the bay. Lots of beating into the current, so not much upwind progress, but the sailing was nice.

My first long trip on my Bayfield 32 sailboat. I soloed from my home marina in Deltaville, VA, down the ICW, and across to the Abacos from Lake Worth, FL for the first 6 weeks. My wife joined me in the Abacos for a month, and after she left, a friend joined for the longer return crossing from the Abacos to St. Augustine, and for another outside hop from Fernandina Beach to Charleston. I then took it the rest of the way on my own, up the ICW and then back to Deltaville.
