kumatage: a bright appearance in the horizon, under the sun or moon, arising from the reflected light of those bodies from the small rippling waves on the surface of the water --Bowditch's Navigator, 24th Edition (1854). My day-to-day public writing appears in Life Afloat Archives (see link in sidebar) so go there first; this blog is simply what's going on in my head behind the scenes.

We're On Our Way!!
We left yesterday afternoon, after a string of errands and goodbyes, and sailed 1/2 day to tie up in the marina at Knapps Narrows again - lovely spot, interesting to watch the watermen going up and down the channel, and the drawbridge. Had quite a challenge anchoring in the current, which I wrote about in Life Afloat. Today we sailed a perfect day, warm and sunny and winds from the north, comfortably behind us, to anchor at Solomons, MD. Tomorrow is a long day, down to the next good all-weather anchorage. Thursday is expected cold and windy and rainy, and we'll hole up there and wait for better weather. Stow the provisions we are still passing back and forth daily from V-berth to salon and back again so they wont clutter the place we're living in at the moment, and hope to catch up on some writing.

Yippee!!
Loved the telling of it on the newspaper blog! Although I don't understand all the details, I can imagine that it was a comical experience! Glad it worked out okay.
Thanx RA - yeah, it was pretty embarassing. Glad the heron was our only audience.
