I wanted to go somewhere but light winds were forecasted for most of the day. Arriving at the marina there was a nice west breeze which carried me out to the main channel. If this held maybe down to Chesapeake on the Elizabeth River.
It didn't and left me floating in the middle of the main channel over the HRBT. Fortunately, no ships approoaching as I slowly floated east on the outgoing tide. After about an hour I fired up the diesel and motored back toward Willoughby Bay. Just as i passed Fort Wool and forecasted east breeze arrived and I was sailing again.
Anchored in my favorite spot it was a pleasent evening and perfect sleeping weather...
