Twelve days into the fall sail on Chesapeake Bay and I am just now able to sort the apple phone/google sign-in issues and make a post.
First of all, thanks to friend Matto for the photo above, taken I think just after dawn on Tilghman Creek. SPARTINA and Matto’s TRIM had a pleasant raft-up there, including Matto’s friend Rossco.
The trip has had a little bit of everything. Rain and sun, great wind, good friends in St. Michaels. I’ve stayed mostly on pretty little creeks, most often by myself but at times with a few neighbors.
Fall is in there air, easily noticed because of cool nights, flocks of geese and changing of the leaves in the trees along shore.
I am in Fredericktown on the Sassafras River right now, maybe heading south tomorrow and then over to the western shore of the Bay. Will have to see which way the winds are blowing.

That dawn raft-up on Tilghman Creek sounds like a perfect start to the fall sail. Always a pleasure following SPARTINA through the Bay creeks, the Pathfinder really is a fine little cruiser. Enjoy the rest of the trip!
Hiope you are making it OK thru the storm remnants. No doubt you are. We were on our boat this weekend and the ride home was 'miserable' as we had to put gear on when we left the safety of the canvas enclosure to disembark and land in our slip. Looking forward to more updates from your friend in Solomons!
Thanks, Shawn. Decided to stop in to Baltimore to see friends crewing the tall ships in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. Back to sailing tomorrow!
