day twenty-one - caught again

7:55 cast off from Knapps Narrows Marine.  Clear skies, cool, light north wind.  8:00 sails up on Poplar Island Narrows, spotty wind, under power.  

8:30 sails up in a light breeze, making 1.9.  8:55 motorsailing.  A deadrise passes by, collecting pots as the crabbing season ends, friendly wave from the captain and crew.  9:40 sailing, cast to some feeding fish but no luck.  

 


10:55 tacking north at 3.5.  11:45 less wind and under power.  I am surprised by a text message from friends Harold and Anna.  They are driving up Tilghman Island and through the trees catch a glimpse of a Pathfinder on the water.  They wonder if it is me.  Small world, again.  


1:40 Tilghman Point, hinds of wind on the Miles River.  Try to sail but the wind fails.  2:20 motorsailing across the shoal at the Wye River entrain.  


Finally a little wind on the Wye, making 3.4 for the last little bit of the days' sail.


Anchor down Shaw Bay.


20.49 NM
