Day 43 - Sept. 27

 Slept in today since we only planned a short hop to another anchorage.  We had in mind to repeat the same kind of day we had yesterday.  We left anchor and quickly put up the main and jib and spent two hours sailing a bracing 1 - 1 1/2 kts.  Being a Saturday meant there were more boats in the Chesapeake then Maine had lobster pots, and with no wind, it wasn't much fun.  So on went the iron sail and by 2:00pm we settled ourselves into another anchorage for the day.  Salvation ended up going to our first choice, but closer examination looked like it may be touch and go for our 5 1/2 draft, so we tucked into our second choice,  Hawk Cove behind Hart-Merrill Island.  Not a bad spot but a lot of power boaters at the beach, so I'm hoping it will quiet down after supper.
15 nm today.
