We're IN.  It's "funny" how Mother Nature has to have the last laugh.  15 minutes before returning to the Getaway docks, the wind went from 5 to 20 in less than a minute and then to over 40 in another 5 minutes.  It made docking at real challenge since it was blowing us onto the docks but we gave Captain Phil a 10 for rounding up, heading into the wind and wiggling the stern back into the dock. 

After a nice dinner last night, and a quiet night aboard at ACM, we fueled up this morning and headed for "HOME".  The forecast was for S at 15 but it never materialized.  We motored up the Bay and into the Patapsco.  We did set the jib but it never did much to help.  We have not filled the water tank since Masonborro NC.  Captain Phil assured me several times that we wouldn't run out of water but, to his surprise, we ran out about an hour out of Baltimore.  Of course, no marinas in the last 300+ miles have had their water turned on anyway so we couldn't have taken any on if we had wanted. 

So, it's good to be in.  Phil and Ollie, and I had an early cocktail to celebrate. Phil posted a photo on his Facebook page. 

 

As a nice welcome home, Brianna left work early and greeted Captain Phil and I with a huge chocolate chip cookie.  Thanks Bri,.
