Two Long Days

On Friday, April 21 Kinvara II left the dock at Atlantic Yacht Basin to head north to Deltaville, VA. The weather was a perfect day to be on the water. We were cruising comfortably at 10k amazed that we pretty much had Chesapeake Bay to ourselves! As Deltaville ( our destination) approached it was 1:30 pm and the captain decided the day was too good to waste so on we plodded to Solomon, MD. Arrival time was 6:30 pm and we set the anchor by 7. Once inside an approaching thunder storm arrived. It hasn't stopped raining for 24 hours.  We are the only anchored boat surrounded by marinas and private docks.

Saturday dinner...comfort foods

Saturday dawned, still raining, but temps in the low to mid 50's....an Irish type of day, cold and damp.
Jane got busy sewing the remaining curtains for the aft cabin. Peter adjusted our snubber line on the anchor chain. Last night Peter discovered the port scupper was blocked again from the pine tree debris at Atlantic Yacht Basin. He had to stand in the cold rain with a plunger and the plumbers snake to unblock it. During this time he tried to hold a golf umbrella over him .... but the wind had other ideas. Somewhere today floats (work sinks) our favorite umbrella!! We thought about looking for it today in the dinghy but the cold and wet just didn't appeal to us.

Tomorrow, Sunday, we plan to move to a marina for 3 nights since there is a strong front moving through. More info to come......
