The calmest of nights, and a dawn the comes with a pink sky and roosters crowing.
7:40 under power, not a hint of wind. 7:55 passing green marker "1," surprised to look west to Chesapeake Bay and see ruffled water. Maybe a breeze? 8:10 round Black Walnut Point.
9:15 a little breeze under the thin overcast, sails up and motor sailing. 10:40 can see Parsons Island on Eastern Bay. 10:55 overcast clearing and a touch more wind. Sail briefly before going back to motor sailing. 12:20 at Tilghman Point, see a couple of catboats coming out of the Miles River. Lots of power boats out trawling for striper but the sky is empty of birds and that makes me think there are no fish to be caught.
12:30 decent wind, making 4.0 but it doesn't last.
1:00 making 2.7, then motor sailing again.
1:20 Parsons Island to port.
2:30 the best wind of the day as we turn west into Kirwan Creek. Kent Narrows bridge is just over a mile away, we'll be well positioned to pass through the bridge first thing in the morning.
23.38 NM
