Solomons to Deltaville

Yesterday was a rest day in Solomons Island. We went grocery shopping, filled up on diesel and water, and went to the maritime museum. We left this morning at 0800 and were one of about a dozen sailboats all departing the harbor and heading south at the same time. We are starting to recognize boats and sailors, and it has been fun to be a part of this community headed south. We had really nice sailing weather today - 15 knots just aft of the beam for most of the day, and then it swung around to dead astern for the last two hours. Momo topped out at 9.4 knots and she averaged over 8 for much of the time. Around 1700 we arrived in Jackson Creek, which is near Deltaville, Virginia. We dropped anchor right next to another Valiant 40, and it was nice to chat a bit with her owners.

Boats also headed south.

Scout fell asleep like this while we were filling up with diesel and water.

I think we are making southern progress.
