We were up early and underway by 0715. It was relatively calm and partly cloudy ad we departed Reedville. By the time we were out into the Chesapeake the wind had already started to pickup from the east-northeast. This put the wind immediately off our beam. Rather than roll around we decided to alter course and head into Deltaville, VA. We dropped anchor in Fishing Bay at 1100 (196 Miles traveled), well protected from the east wind. Before we were even anchored we started to receive WiFi.
By the time we had lunch it appeared that the wind speed had diminished considerably. Rather than waste the rest of the day we pulled the anchor and continued our trip. It took us nearly an hour to get out the Wicomico River and head south on Chesapeake Bay.
The bay was still choppy but the waves were on our stern quarter and our ride wasn’t bad. We chose to anchor in Chisman Creek off the Poquoson River. It was 1845 by the time we dropped anchor. We had to hurry to lower the dinghy and outboard from topside because it was rapidly getting dark and we still had to take Sailor to shore. All of the shoreline appeared to be private property so we pulled up to a small marina and Dora walked him to shore while I waited in the dinghy. He did his jobs and we got away without any hassles. The generator died after running for about an hour. I suspect that this was caused by a clogged fuel filter. We had leftover roast beef and turned in before 2200.
