Deltaville

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.
