Very peaceful night and woke up to sunshine and 0 kt wind. Guess we'll motor to the next anchorage. We're taking it slow with short hops cause we don't want to arrive at Annapolis until after the weekend which will hopeful allow us to pick up a mooring.
Arrived at Sillery Bay by noon. Very nice here, with some gorgeous homes along the banks. Greg and I took a dinghy tour this afternoon to admire the homes. Not quite as pretentious as those along the Maine coast. These you could almost picture yourself living in. There is a house on a small island directly behind us with a lighthouse attached. We're trying to decide if it is a private home or something else. There are no signs to say. I'll check it out this evening if any lights go on.
Bob Leigh just paid us a visit. He lives behind Little Island, which is where my lighthouse is, which by the way is privately owned. Gentleman built it about 5 years ago as a toy, lives there once in a while. Must be nice! Anyway, Bob had us pull out our charts and he gave us all kinds of recommendations for anchorages from here to the end of the Dismal Swamp on the ICW, along with places to visit and great spots to eat. What a really nice guy. Invited us to stop in for a visit on our way back and he'd give us the use of his car. Too bad we won't be coming back this way. :(
19 nm today.
