| This is a major harbor for fishing boats |
The winds increased Tuesday morning to 15 to 20 kts with 3
to 4 ft waves along with a small craft advisory. To make matters worse, the
outgoing tide was opposing the 15 to 20 kts of wind and the associated waves.
That would lead to short, square waves and not a very comfortable ride. One
boat came in this morning with glass missing from a porthole after being hit
with an on-coming wave. So under those conditions, we just stayed in port.

The forecast for Thursday is much better for going north. If
the forecast holds, we will be able to move everyday and reach Chesapeake City
by Sunday, May 19. Making Anchors Aweigh looks very doubtful, the weather would
have to be perfect for the rest of the trip, not very likely.
Ann prepared pan-seared tuna for dinner and the four of us
had a great dinner while waiting for weather. I replaced the water filter under
the galley that filters the water we drink and the air filter for the A/C -
there is always something to do on a boat! We'll get up early for the 43 mile
trip to Onancock which is almost due north.
