Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

A singlehaded sail where I attempted to sail from our slip off the Rhode River to Eastern Bay.   It was a close reach in light wind over, but as I approached Bloody Point I realized that the current was strong enoughdown the bay that the return trip would take several legs upwind.   THe course was changed more northerly than EB to improve the return trip.   Even with the course adjustment we ended up south of West River, so dropped the sails and motored the last bit since it would have required a tack pointing up the bay in light winds with an adverse current......
