Quick Update

We had a great day cruising today.  5 to 10 kt. winds and very calm seas.  We pulled up the anchor at 8:45 and got to Mill Creek at 3:30.  Fifty-four miles in a little less than seven hours.  I know that sounds ridiculous to most but it was a good day.  Lots of sailboats out there, this IS the Chesapeake...sailing is their game.  Not much else to report, iffy internet and phones here so I'm making this a 'quickie' update.  Headed for Solomon's Island tomorrow which means crossing the mouth of the Potomac...HUGE....hopefully the daily storms will hold off until we make it.  
 We are here (anchor at the bottom of picture)  Mill Creek off of the Wicomico River which is south of the Potomac.
A lovely quiet anchorage with quite a few other cruisers.  It took two spots and 5 tries to set the anchor but we are 'hooked' now.  There are houses here but most are hidden by the trees, quite a lot like "Up North", Michigan.
