Cold night. Again. Take my time in the morning. Hot tea. Very little wind. Sail/drift off anchor at 9:50. A slow tack past the marina. Then no wind. Under power out of Davis Creek.
10:15 sailing, 2.0 out of Lankford Creek. 11:00 on the Chester River. 11:25 Spaniard Point to starboard as the river narrows. 12:00 struggling to sail near Deep Point, 0.5 kts. Under power. A power boat slows down to reduce wake. I tip my hat in thanks.
12:40 a little wind and sailing at 1.4. Wind swings around, 2.0 with wind over the port quarter. 1:20 light, shifting wind at Melton Point, working against the tide. Motorsailing for a few minutes, then sailing again. Decent wind at 2:20. 2:55 sail into Southeast Creek. Calm water, quiet, peaceful. Anchor down 3:25.
Quiet is broken by the sound of breaking branches. I look to the shoreline to see three or four deer walking along shore. Set up the boom tent, relax. Enjoy the last full day on the water.
