A light ENE breeze carried us over to Fort Monroe. Looking at the tide I was expecting a gentle current. I must have misread things because there was close to 2 knots which brought our forward progress almost to a stop. A little diesel power got us past this and we continued up the beach for a while before heading back to Willoughby Marina.
A tense moment when firing up the diesel only to find we had a crab pot line on the prop. Reversing the engine unwound it and we were back in business. Love crab, hate crab pots!
