We see light at the end of the tunnel. It's 1:30pm, Tuesday. We are just south of the mouth of the
Patuxant River (entrance to Solomon's).
We anchored on a one of my favorite creeks last night - Dymer
Creek. It is about 5 miles north of the
mouth of the Rappahannock River. It was
a very peaceful evening and night. The
temperature only got down into the high 40s or low 50s so it was comfortable
sleeping. This morning, we weighed the anchor just after 7 and were
underway. We have been reading forecasts
for a strong cold front moving into the area Wednesday night and Thursday.
Preceding it (tomorrow) the weather should be a little rainy with some possible
thunderstorms. Today is bright and sunny
(but windless). So the plan for today is
to make it a long one and make it into Annapolis. We will tie up at the Annapolis City Marina
(the regular). We are calculating we
will arrive around 9pm. Tomorrow will
(should) be a short/easy motor/sail up to our Baltimore home port. Needless to say, we are all getting excited
to be home.
It's 10:30pm. We got
to Annapolis at 9pm, tied up at the Annapolis City Marina, and dashed over to
the Boatyard Cafe for dinner. It's nice
to have heat again. Plan to leave around
9am and be in Baltimore around 1pm. Plan
for me is to catch a ride with Captain Phil up to Joan's sister Teresa and
husband Robert's house tomorrow evening. I'll stay over there tomorrow night
and Joan will drive down and pick me up Thursday.
I'll post recent photos tomorrow night when I have wifi.
Thanks for the great blogging Ron ... have thoroughly enjoyed your journey from the South.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a warm arrival in Baltimore ... but a very chilly aftermath very shortly. Hope to see you in Pintita training later this month.
