Dobbins Island - Another great sunset
I convinced Jared to come down for one last trip. Winds were 6-9 but from the south and we were heading, you guessed it, south. So we motor sailed all the way to The Magothy River back to another favorite place - Dobbins Island. We anchored, settled in with a few drinks and then had grilled steak with potatoes/onions and a salad. More drinks, conversation and then finally boaters midnight.
It was a quiet night - a bit warm so I actually opened a hatch. Today the weather is partly cloudy, calm seas, temps 63-68 with winds from the west at 4-10. We started with eggs and sausage for breakfast and then deployed the dinghy and engine for a quick trip around the "little island" and back into Grays Creek. Back to The Office and recovered the engine and dinghy and headed out of the River into the Bay. The wind was all over the place both direction and strength all day as Jared drove us home. We mostly sailed but turned the engine on a few times to keep going. Finally in the late afternoon we got some strong NW winds at about 10-15 knots. We tacked up to Pools Island and then sailed into Middle River. Finally we dropped the sails as we turned into Frog Mortar Creek. Smooth docking in light northerly winds. Jared gathered his stuff and headed home. I had a call scheduled with Katie.
