44 nm today, most of it motoring against 1 kt of current. The last hour a
nice, unforecasted 12 knots came out of thr south. Up the drifter, off
the engine, and I sailed at 5 kts all the way to The Great Wicomico
River. I know why there is such a big deal about saying "The Great".
There are two other Wicomico Rivers. The Little Wicomico is about 5
miles north, and the Wicomico, just plain Wicomico, is 45 miles
northeast. It caused confusion because Will asked me to check out a
geological feature on the Wicomico for him. Sorry Will, wrong Wicomico.
It is a nice anchorage, and I have 20 kts forecasted for tonight. This
is a good place for it.
40 nm tomorrow to Solomons Island.
Time for a highly anticipated swim. And then I have some reading to
do. What and Where (on a highway map) is Solomons Island? It is one of
those names I know but don't know why.
