Much cooler today.
With the wind blowing 15-18 mph out of the north we are motorsailing
at a pretty good pace. First day we are wearing our foul weather
gear for wind, not rain. Quite a contrast from the last week of barefoot
sailing and sweating.
Originally planned
on a relatively short day to Reedsville. Reedsville is home to a
Menhaden fish processing plant. Famous for the smell which can be
rather over whelming if you are down wind from it. Reedsville has a
few restaurants and a museum, but when we start to smell rotten fish
miles away we change our minds and head to one of our favorite
protected anchorages, Mill Creek. We hid out there on our first trip
south after one of the roughest days sailing ever, for us. Only problem
getting there is dodging fish traps, miles off shore. I have to dodge
one that I did not notice soon enough in the rough conditions.

There
are only a couple other boats in Mill Creek, very peaceful. We have
hot chocolate with amaretto to warm up. The sun comes out and we are
quite comfortable behind our canvas and clear vinyl, protected
from the cool breeze in Mill Creek.
