<\/a>We enjoyed this beautiful sunrise as we left Herrington Harbor South early in the morning even though NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) had issued a Small Craft Advisory due to expected high winds. \u00a0They were calling for winds around 20 – 25 miles per hour with gusts to 30, and they weren’t wrong.<\/p>\nThe gusts picked up around 10 am just like they were forecast to. \u00a0It was a cold wind and we bounced and rocked around alot as we made our way across the Bay toward Rock Hall. \u00a0At different times we unfurled each of the headsails so we could take advantage of the wind, and hopefully steady the boat a bit, but without the mainsail up (and it was still under the sail cover) we felt the foresails were putting too much stress on the rigging with the force of the wind. \u00a0And so we motored through it.<\/p>\n
And it felt GREAT to not have to plan our days by the weather for a while.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 16 May 2016 – Welcome Back to Rock Hall, Maryland We enjoyed this beautiful sunrise as we left Herrington Harbor South early in the morning even though NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) had issued a Small Craft Advisory due to expected high winds. \u00a0They were calling for winds around 20 – 25 miles per … Continue reading Welcome Home!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=725"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":730,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725\/revisions\/730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dreamtime-sailing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>There weren’t too many boats out today as we made our way under the Annapolis Bay Bridge and the familiar waters approaching Rock Hall.<\/p>\n<\/a>A few hours later we navigated the familiar channel through Rock Hall Harbor and safely docked in our summer home marina. \u00a0We had mixed emotions as we tied up and realized the journey was done (for now) but\u00a0it did feel good to say “hi” to old friends as they would return\u00a0to the marina over the next few days.<\/p>\n
