We\u2019ve crossed the 38th Parallel\u2026.. and entered Virginia.<\/p>\n

Before 0800 while the sun was still making its very brief debut for the day, we set out for another day on the Chesapeake Bay.<\/p>\n

Once we left the protection of Solomons Island, we traversed a few more crab pot lines and turned South.\u00a0 We decided to let out the Genoa and see how it went.\u00a0 With winds estimated at 15 – 20 knots, we turned off the engine and SAILED, hand steering and averaging around 6 knots per hour.<\/p>\n

With winds from the North\/Northeast the wind and temperature was brisk, but still I thought I had over dressed for the day with thermal layer, turtleneck, fleece and foul weather jacket.\u00a0 I would later learn I couldn\u2019t have been more wrong.\u00a0 I definitely got cold – darn that heater that should keep me warm in the cockpit!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We sailed for 4 hours until the wind decided to take a break, and we had a destination to get to. So we fired up the engine and motored for the last 2.5 hours of the 8 hour day culminating for 42.5 miles.<\/p>\n

We opted to make the longer journey to Reedville, VA and this meant we crossed out of Latitude 38 and sailed into 37 \u2014 still heading South.\u00a0 We left Maryland and entered Virginia.\u00a0 No – there was no \u201cWelcome to Virginia\u201d sign to be seen on the water.<\/p>\n

We arrived in Reedville and tied up to a dock\/marina of a restaurant that was closed.\u00a0 An unfortunate aspect of coming south as late as we are\u2026.\u201doff season\u201d hours for restaurants which translates to \u201cclosed Monday through Thursday\u201d.\u00a0 Oh well – instead we had a yummy nutritious meal aboard and are now hunkered down for the night.<\/p>\n

A benefit of marina\/dockside life is electricity which means we can fire up the reverse cycle air conditioner\/heater to keep us warm overnight, since we have given up on the hydronic heater at this point.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s destination is Deltaville, VA which should translate to a 5 hour journey with similar weather and wind forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
