Just like the big boys!

We headed out of Solomons Island early (0745) just like all the rest of the fisherman and cruisers.  Kismet should be so proud of us as the day before they admonished us for leaving at 10:00am and getting to Solomon Island some how in front of them.



The sail down was OK.  As we sailed past the Potomac River the wind slackened and turned right making us go in the wrong direction as our original thought was to go to Tangiers Island.  Unfortunately it turned out to be just too far in the wrong direction so after passing Smith Point Light we headed into Mills Creek for the expected front to come through.  Us and about 10 other boats spent a quiet but rather rainy night.  We will follow this up with an update of the high winds expected tomorrow
Schooner heading north
