Our first day underway was pretty uneventful. It was a very chilly morning at Herrington Harbour North -- there was a thin crust of ice on the water when we woke up! We caught a little wind early in the day, but the building winds never showed up this afternoon. So, we motored. Still, not bad. Very happy to be on the move and on the water.....not tied to a dock.
We made our way to Solomon's Island (MD) and found a nice spot (
here) on Back Creek to drop anchor. Granted, it took three tries to get the anchor to hold, but the third time was a charm. The sunset was a pretty "red sky at night" and the water is absolutely mirror-like.
Now, we check the weather and charts and calculate how far we think we can make it tomorrow.

| Thank you, Kevin and Lauren, for this awesome travel mug! It keeps my coffee SO hot, SO long! |
 |
| My favorite moment is when we cut the engine and the wind takes over. |

| That's "Hoss," we followed him down the Bay. He made it all the way to Norfolk. We did not. |

| Cove Point military zone.......very sci-fi. |

| On our approach to Solomon's Island, we skirted around a local yacht club race (of Buccaneers). |
