OK, we're leaving already...

So tomorrow we will be leaving for the Delaware River and then on to the Chesapeake. The winds are favorable, so we should be off. We'll report more as we go along.

In the meanwhile, we were featured in a magazine article in a sailing mag called Carolina Currents. They interviewed us and took photos when we were in Oriental, NC and the article has just been published.

PS: So we had a good sail down to the Delaware River and anchored in a harbor of refuge at Cape Henlopen, just inside the mouth of the river. The winds were blowing from the right direction for a change and we just romped along, doing 7 knots most of the night. It got a little light in the morning and we finally turned on the motor. When we got to the anchorage we found John and Cheryl Mallon, a couple who also own a Sceptre 41 and so I got to go over and visit with them and talk boats. They are going the same way as we are, so we will doubtless meet up later on.
