8:30 AM- left Skipjack marina - good
- we had to go into the Sassafras River to get to Georgetown, MD to the skipjack marina and at the entrance to this river from the Chesapeake Bay is about severl hundred crab pots or traps....like going thru a mine field...never seen anything like it...we had to bob and weave around these things...didn't want to drag any or get tangled up in the prop...
We checked the weather and Baltimore has 8 mph winds, 2-3 ft. waves..not bad, wind and waves will build in Chesapeake as we go though...oh my...so we get going anyhow as we wanted to get to Baltimore to get tucked in from the storm...well the stinkin waves got bigger and bigger and bigger and the wind started blowing...up to 25 mph..we would come crashing down in the waves...hit so hard that the hatches would pop open a little and the water would come pouring in...got so much stuff wet...ok now...as we are at safe harbor...we had books go flying and papers and stuff....we had most things put away, but when we would hit, the stuff would bounce up and then go flying....we never got sick thru this yeah!
We finally turn to go into the Patapsco River towards Baltimore, as we turn to go in the wind dropped about 7 mph and the waves got smaller just before we entered the harbor....we docked at 4:10 PM at Anchorage marina...with help...tied it all down and then went across the street to eat supper...
7:45 PM...I am finishing up my posts...I will think of more as we go...just can't think right now...got to send pics out...way behind there....
Hope everyone stays safe in the upcoming stormy weather...we may ck into a hotel on Sat...don't want to be on this boat in that kind of weather...
Bye for now....
