Sail around Hart-Miller Island
My friend 'Catfish' chasing me out of the river
Sunrise in Hawk Cove
It was a cold morning so I waited for it to warm up a bit while I did chores and filled the water tanks. Finally wind was S 7-10 with temps in the low 60's on a sunny day when I got underway. I motor sailed out to the mouth of the river with Catfish following. Finally out of the wind shadow of Hart-Miller Island we got the 10 knots of wind from the SE. I sailed about 2/3 of the way around Hart-Miller, dropped the sails and motored through the cut up behind the island in Hawk Cove. I found a nice spot, dropped the anchor and relaxed. Dinner was grilled burgers with rice, potato salad and cucumber salad - still summer food at least. Temps at dinner were in the low 60's outside and low 70's inside.
I headed out after a nice breakfast. The temperature was finally 60 but cloudy so it felt cooler. I motored back to my slip as I was going to help Marty remove his jib in preparation of moving to Annapolis for the winter.
