This morning we tried to mount the new bow sprit but determined the bobstays were too short. Dave will follow up with the fabricator.
We had a spectacular view of a distant thunderstorm that the radio advised was across the Bay affecting Crisfield MD
. We departed our Mill Creek anchorage on what would be for us a sunny, dry, pleasant day with very little wind at 0943. The predicted S wind didn't show up.
We started out intending to troll under spinnaker but we took it right down and motored to troll. Had a couple small fish on a Clarke spoon, but landed none. We zig zag-ed our course to follow birds working the water.
We arrived back at the marina around 1300 hours and got ready to depart for Arlington.
