Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Did a singlehanded daysail from our slip off the Rhode River.   Originally planned on heading into Eastern Bay - it was a close reach.   THe wind kept on shifting and ended up going upwind towards the northmost point of  Poplar Island.   On the way back, I started out on a beam reach, but the wind shifted so was headed upwind. Then the wind lightened, and the current made it so it would take several long tacks to get back.  So I motored home.
