Good morning!
The sun takes the bite out of the chilly air
Terns frantically swarming a school of fish
My guy, bundled up and smiling
60/49, sunny, W10-15 w/gusts to 20
Motored out of the Rhode River shortly after sunrise and set sail for Solomons on a westerly breeze. Broad reaching became beam reaching and then close-hauled. Dobbs and I each saw a gannet on our respective turns at the tiller. We beat our way into the Patuxent and stopped at Solomons Yachting Center for diesel and water before heading up to Mill Creek to anchor.
