day four of the spring trip

This is probably the easiest day of the trip to plan.  From Whitehaven west and then north onto the Honga River.  Trip, as measured out on google earth, is about 30 miles.  


The main goal would be to get across the top of Tangier Sound, enter Hooper Strait and sail north into the Honga River.  That is the Hooper Island Light, below, from day two of the Bay Days sail.  Once we get there we head north on the river and there are countless anchorages on either side.


If we make good time we might head into to Hoopersville and get some lunch.   But we'll most likely be too late for that.
As for the Honga, lots of coves, rivers and bays.  Easy sailing (famous last words).  But that would be the goal - get into the Honga River and head north from there.
