Total:      117 miles    20.7 hours

     The alarm was set for 6:30 am, but we awoke when the phone rang at 5:10. Greg was on his way to work and made the “butt call.”  Pete’s calling his name and whistling didn’t get his attention, so we finally hung up and thankfully, caught some more zzzz’s.

     The temperature was 33 degrees when we work, but quickly began to climb along with the sun. The winds were light out of the SSW at 5-7.  Before we left, we texted birthday wishes to Chris.

     We were one of 5 boats exiting the Pawtuxet River.  Pete checked AIS and found there were quite a few boats heading south throughout the Chesapeake; and they were only the ones with AIS!

Tonight's Sunset

     We were able to drop anchor around 4:15. Bailey really enjoys this beach.  Plenty of space to run around, new sticks to find and chew.  We love it, too, for its beauty a long with the easy dinghy access to the beach.  We, a power boat and a large sail boat all came in around the same time.  We were the only boats here tonight.

     After a great dinner of sausage and peppers, we watched some TV, Pete took Bailey in for a final walk, then we headed to bed. We have another long trip tomorrow.
