Left Herring Bay in dense fog. Visibility less than 1/2 mile. Radar working fine. Used fog horn signals until the fog lifted. Clear most of the rest of the day. Some haze in the late afternoon. Making good time to arrive at Dozier's Regatta Point Marina before 1700. Arrived at Norview Marina at 1645 for fuel. The folks there were kind enough to wait for us to arrive since they normally closed the pumps at 1630. Tied up at the marina at 1700 hours. Jack Dozier called to welcome us to Deltaville but also told us that he and Craig, would not be back in time to stop by to have a cocktail with us. They will see us either inroute on the ICW or at their home in Stuart FL. Cocktails and dinner are in order.

Entered the C&D Canal at 0650. Out of canal at 0900. Favorable current through the canal gave us a good push. Making over 9 mph. Met two tugs and barges in the canal. Favorable current stayed with us all the way to the next anchorage. Anchored at Herring Bay, Carl's least favorite anchorage but the only one available. Light Winds are expected out of the south making this a good wind anchorage. No protection from the swells of the bay though. Tonight we will be having our cocktails at a respectible time of 1700. Left over corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Early rise so early to bed tonight.

Weather: Sunny, cloudless 30 degrees with light wind
Captain Mike and Captain Carl left the dock at 6:50 this morning. (Skipper and I stayed home and will drive to meet them down the ICW, this way they can get farther faster as we got such a late start due to the installation of a new mast). They got out to the bridge and being that there is such an unusually high tide they couldn't get through the bridge and decided to wait an hour. Tide is still high so they went back to the dock, took down the Windless and were able to go tick tick tick through the bridge at about 8 AM. I took a ride to the ocean and there is no way they want to venture out into that roiling boiling mass of water today so they are going inside to Atlantic city and will wait for the seas to settle down. More to come after I talk to him later. The pictures are from previous trips. I will submit pictures when I get to the boat next week.

Sailed, long day middle of nowhere. We saw a bald eagle today. Sandy beach called Mt Rena. Quiet, calm, nice anchorage but buggy. This was a place they dredged out lagoons to put in a development that never happened. Happy Birthday Patty!
