Slipping By a Storm


7/19/07 – We woke up at anchor this morning and motored into Herrington Harbor South to get some fuel. I talked with a guy named Bill that offered to let me use his facilities pass (this is a resort marina) if I were to stay there. I declined, partly because I could never afford to stay there but also because I need to make good time to Atlantic City, NJ. I found out that there was a West Marine at the other branch of Herrington Harbor, about two miles away on the opposite side of Herring Bay. We motored over there and I was disappointed to find out that the book I wanted was not there. We sailed out of the harbor and continued sailing for most of the morning. There was a storm system coming through but the severe portion of it was down near the Potomac River, well south of us. We continued along and just got a little sprinkle and a great tailwind for the remainder of the day. We passed Baltimore and anchored in a nice little harbor and watched another great sunset.
