Finally!
We actually went sailing!
The anchor light works!
The engine starts reliably!
We're r
elaxing!
We sailed from the Coan River across the Potomac to the St. Mary's River yesterday in 5-10 knots of SE wind. A nice, slow, relaxing, and easy sail. We sailed into into the anchorage and dropped the anchor, pretty as you please, without running the engine.
St Mary's is a lovely spot with a college and a historical reconstruction area we had a walk around and then back to Rachel for dinner. It certainly is nice to be sleeping at anchor again with the gentle rolling of the boat.
More soon.
