We set off with headwinds and a very lumpy sea in the
shallow water outside Deltaville, which promised a not very pleasant trip to
Cape Charles. However, after an hour or
so, the winds decreased to 5-7 knots, the water was deeper and the combination of
the 2 flattened the seas. Not enough
wind to sail the distance we needed, so we motored with a fair tide at speeds
over the ground up to 7 knots. Thank
goodness for fair tides.
On the way in we saw several pelicans sitting of the
water.
On our return, the lady and gent on the boat next to us were
fishing off the dock with their radio playing country music. She told me that she fishes for “fahv” songs
and if she hasn’t caught anything she gives up.
I guess we’re in the south now!
