This was the day to finish up the transom - cleaning off and adding our bubble decals. First mate (with some help from the captain) got to work and had the new decals up in short order! Ate lunch in the slip - and even though the wind was only 3 knots, we were determined to go out. We headed out and found the wind even in the creek was at about 3 knots - and using the binoculars to scan the horizon, it seemed that the water in the Chester was flat, so the first mate who was at the helm, decided to turn towards Cacaway Island where we would anchor for a bit. There was another boat out there also, but we stayed our distance. Once we were anchored, we did some chores and then I noticed that the wind was starting to pick up. Kept an eye on that as I continued to mull about and eventually it seemed we had a sustained 8 knot wind - so we put up the main, tried to sail off the anchor (but the first mate was having issues with that) so we turned on the engine to get the anchor up and then sailed - close hauled - down to the mouth of Langford Creek, before dropping the main and running back up the creek to our home port - Lankford Crreek marina. Had a nice 1-1/2 hour sail that was unexpected! Winds out of the south - temps in the mid 70's.
