Yesterday we dropped the lines to the mooring ball at 8:00 AM. After pulling in to a nearby marina dock to take on water and fuel, shortly after 9:00 AM we raised sails and enjoyed six hours of free passage, using a reefed mainsail and less than half the genoa unfurled, averaging speed of over 6 knots and hitting a top speed of 9.9 knots surfing down a wave. As we entered the mouth of the Patuxent River, with the wind on the nose and an outgoing tide, we started the engine, dropped sails, and picked our second spot to drop the hook at 4:30 PM.
