Before departing our anchorage this morning we took measurements with the bow sprit installed for the new Code 0 sail that Dave was contracting to have made.
It was flat departing Fishing Bay at 0952 hours
. The day was mostly sunny and dry with light and variable wind. We motored out to start, then set the spinnaker and had a nice run into the mouth of the Rappahannock and under the bridge in 7-9 E. It's a great experience to take the spinnaker under that massive Rappahannock River bridge. Nabbed a couple small blues along the way which we threw back.
We were at anchorage in Carter Creek at 1345. It was a hot day so we inflated our "Cuddle Island" and lounged for a while under the shade of the hulls and trampoline...the cool-down was welcome.
