  • Wing on wing from Still Pond to Rock Hall

Nice trip to Still Pond for an overnight and then a visit to our favorite marina in Rock Hall - Rock Hall Landing. The weather was in the high 60's to low 70's. 6 sailboats and 6 powerboats were acnhored with us in the southern part of Still Pond. Winds were 15 knots with gusts up to 26 until about 8 pm. The anchor held well and finally everything calmed down. DInner was grilled pork chops with pan fried potatoes and green beans. It was a quiet nite. 

Up early for a nice breakfast and then headed out of Still Pond. Took off on a broad reach across the bay and jibbed back towards Fairlie Creek. Finally settled on a wing on wing towards the Chester River. We took the Swan Point cut and headed into Rock Hall Landing. No resturants were open so we cooked a fish dinner in the oven and sat in the cockpit with wine watching the sunset. 

Up early after a cool evening. Simple breakfast. Worked inside a bit waiting for the rain to stop and finally got underway around noon. Sailed through the Swan Point Cut again and across the bay to the southern end of Hart-Miller Island. Sailed through the southern cut up into Hawk Cove. Finally reached Middle River and dropped the sails and headed home.
