Think we'll spend one more day here, forecast for tomorrow is light winds out of the North. While they are not going to help they shouldn't hinder our progress much. It's 82 NM to Solomons Island which means two 40+ mile days which should be no problem. We hope to hook up with our Gemini friends; Tim and Jill Argie who sailed with us in the US and spent the winter in Fla.
Hope to get water in Norfolk before we leave, we will get gas also and thats our excuse for using the marinas hose to take on the water. When I do get gas I usually don't fill up because we run out of water first.
The wind is shifting from the East to the Northwest so we may move to get better protection, maybe we'll make the marina stop then also so we wont be bothered tomorrow morning.
