Pausing during our SERC hike
Peaceful anchorage at sunset
Beautiful downwind sail to the Rhode River on Friday. Had trouble with engine starting when we entered the Rhode, in preparation to anchor. We anchored under sail to diagnose problem, and were able to restart engine and then move boat to prefered anchorage past High Island. Ovenight temps were wonderful, in mid-60s. On Saturday, we dinghied to shore and then hiked 3 miles at Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in mid-80's temps-glorious for August! On Sunday, we enjoyed south winds that pushed us back to Annapolis, jybing just once. I love when we can mostly sail!
