Sunday – 30 October – Point Lookout Marina – Deltaville, VA
The restaurant last evening at Point Lookout Marina did not disappoint as we shared a delightful meal, enjoying a lovely evening and sunset.
This morning’s sky was beautiful.
We were up and on our way before the sun had cleared the horizon.
We raised the main sail and sat back to enjoy a most relaxing 8 hours motorsailing on a wide portion of the Chesapeake Bay where there were few other boats, no hazards, no markers and no shoaling to be concerned about.
This is the life!
We let the auto pilot take us away uneventfully out of Maryland to Deltaville, Virginia.
We always plan for Deltaville to be a one night stop, but due to weather on our previous two visits we found ourselves having to stay for an extra night or two.
To our amazement this visit proved to be no different. When we checked the forecast after we arrived we learned that winds tomorrow are forecast to be 20 – 25 knots with gusts up to 30 resulting in 4 foot waves (large for the Bay) with 3 second intervals which would not be a very comfortable ride.
So, being in no particular hurry to get anywhere, we saw no reason to put ourselves through that discomfort and decided to wait a day to continue our journey when the wind would be quieter, the water smoother, and hopefully it would be a more enjoyable day.
