Tide was super high at the Maritime Museum what with the wind blowing straight from the Bay Bridge up Back Creek. Might seen a seagull, oh, and I did see an Osprey on the Horn Point marker. 

It was blowing 13-15 so I intended to go up the creek but once I got out in the channel Sophie thought it'd be okay to go visit the buoys in the Severn. She did fine in the waves although we did once ship a tablespoon of water over the transom. A YP did sortie while I was out there but after I was past their channel.

I made good time, almost 3 kts, even with the wind and waves out there. Did a good job estimating the drift and set as you can see in the course map.
