From Dunn Cove off Harris Creek, we motored to and through picturesque Knapps Narrows. Then, on a south wind 10-15kts, we sailed, mostly broad reaching, to the head of the Rhode River. We anchored behind Big Island, off the Smithsonian Environmental Research Cemter, launched Agility, and west ashore. The trails made for pleasant walking and it felt so good to stretch our legs.
