Trip length:
1 day
Type of watercraft:
Sail
Lauren and Lucy in slip aboard Rover
Some big winds in Herring Bay!
Engine stalled shortly after we got the sails up. I assumed it was a fuel issue and was going to change the fuel filter till I found that I had 2 oil filters aboard rather than 1 oil and 1 fuel filter. So we just sailed out of Herring bay into the Chesapeake and back, then called SeaTow when we reached the channel leading into the marina. By that time the wind was blowing a steady 22knots. I had considered sailing down the channel to a T-head but that would have been rather tricky!
