Our friends on Sirène called to say they left the madeleines on the boat and they didn't want them to spoil. So, we hopped aboard the Maeryner and headed to pick them up. Our evening cocktail cruise turned into a dessert cruise, yum!
Today provided the opportunity to enjoy a little time on both a power and sailboat. We took a local morning cruise on the Maeryner and then spent the afternoon doing docking practice with our friends aboard Sirène.
Our good friends on Sirène invited us to join them on their 2020 weekend shakedown cruise. After a brief but enjoyable sail, we made it to the Rhode only to be thwarted by a non-working anchor windlass. The uncooperative anchor refused to deploy so we headed back to the dock and enjoyed a hearty steak dinner.
We set out from Back Creek fully provisioned for a 5 day sail. As we began our journey up the Eastern Bay we noticed water splashing around the cockpit floor. Oops, Liz used the cockpit shower to rinse off some 'bug juice' prior to leaving the dock and apparently forgot to tighten the handle. We have run out a good portion of our water for the trip .
Day 1 & 2 in an unnamed pristine cove off the Wye which we have nicknamed 'Izzie's Cove' which has become one of our favorite stops on the Wye. It's a great place for working remotely and enjoying some fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies.
Day 3 we headed to St. Michaels's to refill the water tank. Storms predicted so we grabbed a slip and stayed the night which proved to be a good decision when those storms arrived.
Day 4 as part of our goal to hit as many new places as possible this summer we headed to Hunting Creek off the Miles River for a night.
Day 5 Hunting Creek to Back Creek /home.
Since we haven't quite figured out how to go sailing every day, we do sunset cocktail cruises on the Maeryner, the Sea Hunt we share with our son.
Despite impending rain we couldn't resist a chance to spend a couple of nights at anchor. The rain did get us as we headed home and we had to do a 'hat overboard' manuveur as we left Round Bay.
We had to do a pump out (not so easy in the days of COVID) and decided to enjoy a quick day sail while we were out.
A little later than we had hoped, but we are finally headed home for the season.
Day 1 - Worton Creek to Swan Creek
Day 2 - Swan Creek to Eagle Cove
Day 3 - Eagle Cove to Mill Creek
Day 4 - Mill Creek to Back Creek
We are finally ready to go and started the season with a weekend at Worton Creek with the family.
