Thursday 28 Jun

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.
