Left at 11. Sweated our way slowly and carefully through the channel, with both of us watching the depth gauge. We made it! What a relief to be back in deep water!
The tide was still coming in, so we zoomed up the river with the current. Made over seven knots all day. Went about 35 miles and dropped anchor near the Quantico Marine Base.
The new inverter works perfectly. Without it, we'd be plenty uncomfortable anchoring out in this weather, but with it, we're fine.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
