Today provided another wonderful 3- to 4-hour sail. This one was “brisk” as opposed to “boisterous” (which made it more comfortable), but Murph still tested the limits of the wind and currents. He put out the whisker pole (see photo below) to take advantage of what he thought would be 5- to 10-knot winds, but the winds stayed at 15 knots and Murph was hesitant to take down the whisker pole, so we had quite a ride. The short video at

We pulled into Deltaville, VA in early evening and anchored in the very small harbor. There was a flotilla of Aqua Lodge floating cottages nearby…something I had never seen before, though Murph says that there is a live-aboard floating cottage at Annapolis Landing Marina.
