Tilghman Creek to St Mikes to Drum Point Cove on the Wye West River. We got ice, showers , lunch at Corah's, ice cream at Justine's, and some provisions at the deli.
Then it was on the the Wye West River. Anchored behind Drum Point, taking full advantage of the southerly breeze blowing right up the river. Had the anchorage to ourselves and we enjoyed the setting sun and the rising, "Strawberry Moon" on the first full day of summer!

#44. This was one of my all time best sailing days ever, sailing upwind on Eastern Bay under reefed main and staysail, making 4 tacks to make the the turn at Bloody Point. Sailed downwind, under the bridge, into the Magothy and anchored behind Gibson Island in Eagle Cove, in front of the horse farm. It was a great 8-hour day with some great sailing! It was a Cape Dory Day on the Chesapeake Bay.
