Day 229: Across the Bay

Piney Narrows Yacht Haven to Galesville, MD (anchored)

September 1, 2022

How wonderful it was to get back out on the water! Because the haul out and inspection are tomorrow, there’s no hurry to get to the anchorage and we can sail.

Heading out of Piney Narrows

Low humidity and bright sunshine made this trip even better.

Beautiful day to be out

We had the mainsail and headsail up pretty quickly. Once the engine was off, we were able to just enjoy the quiet. Not much wind but we had plenty of time to enjoy the ride.

Main and head sails up before the bridge

Winds were pretty variable – sometimes we hardly had any and then we would get to a better spot. We never exceeded 6 knots but it was a nice day out on the water.

Nice tilt
We weren’t the only ones out
Sails up means lots of tacking

This anchorage is very peaceful although there are several marinas nearby. John took the dinghy over to see where we will be hauled out tomorrow – it’s only a few minutes away. The light pollution here is much less than at the marina, so we’ve spent a few minute looking up at the stars.
