Sassafras River, Mt Harmon Plantation, Rock Creek, and Annapolis

 We left Cheasapeake City, and headed to the Sassafras River.  Anchored in Back Creek, near the Harmon House Plantation.  

Motoring to Sassafras River

Great sailing - a little too fast, followed by lots of anchoring and wrapping a line on our prop.

 We had a great sail from Coney Island, NY down to Cape May New Jersey, - only issue was we were too fast.  We left at 2:00 in the afternoon, and sailed the entire way down with a very smooth ride, with only about 2' seas.  Winds 14 to 18 knots, so full main and jib the entire way.  

Not much of a moon, but lots of stars out.  Got into Cape May at 5:30 a.m. in the morning, as we averaged 7.5 knots which was faster than we had planned on.   Dropped the anchor, around 6:30 a.m.

Notice SOG at 10.3 knots surfing down wave.  WOO HOO

IDA is here and gone, - life jacket works

Being this far north we planned on having less impacts from hurricanes, you know they are suppose to stay down in Florida.  Anyways Henri came through and we saw little wind and rain where we were at.  Ida is now coming through so we moved to a protected spot for wind, Coney Island Creek.  We knew the rain was going to be a lot, 3 to 5 inches, and we got that.  We  received 3 weather warnings on our phone for flooding issues.  We were low on boat water but filled our 100 gallon tank in about 2 hours with rain water using our rain catcher.
