We get up early to leave before
sunrise. Making breakfast I look our the port and see Gregg and
Vickie going by with their running lights on and mainsail up. We are
never going to get the jump on those two early birds. They are
planning on doing the Salty Dawg sailing rally around November 1st,
Hampton, VA to the Virgin Islands.

| Sunrise sail |
We have full sails up, but never enough
speed to shut down the diesel if we want to make the 65 miles to
Deltaville for tonight. By noontime the wind changes direction and
further drops in speed, we are mainly motoring now. Quite a few
cruising sail boats in front and behind us heading south, no one
going north.

| The dock at Fishing Bay Yacht Club |
By 4:30 we pull up to the dock at
Fishing Bay Yacht Club. Pretty quiet here this trip south, we are the
only cruising boat here although there are lots of boats anchored out
for the evening. FBYC allows a free overnight for members of other
Yacht Clubs. Last time here, going south, we were with our new
cruising friends Dan & Dawn and Roger & Chrisy who we sailed
with off and on for the subsequent 7 months or so on the east coast
and the Bahamas.
