We left our beautiful anchorage on Wye River and headed back across the bay to Herrington Harbour North for the day. It was time for grocery shopping, laundry and we had two new batteries installed. We also went to a real restaurant for dinner that night. This was eclipse Monday but we didn't have the required glasses and couldn't really see much. On Tuesday we began our trip south to Zimmerman Marine on Mobjack Bay. We traveled about 5 hours on Tuesday and anchored by the Patuxent Naval Air Station. It was a nice anchorage but exposed to wind and waves. Wednesday was our longest day yet - about 9 hours, 88 miles. Heavier winds were due on Thursday and we wanted to get off the Chesapeake Bay. As we were approaching our anchorage for the night, there were heavy rain clouds ahead of us. We slowed down a little and by the time we reached our anchorage, they had passed by. We had a nice quiet anchorage for the night. We spent Thursday and Friday at Zimmerman Marine getting the boat ready for repairs and getting ourselves ready to leave for a two-week road trip to Texas, back to Alabama, then to Florida. We also enjoyed having docktails with Jerry and Wendy, who are in the process of buying the boat that was docked next to us.

Miles and miles of miles and miles of water - looking up the Potomac River
(Washington D.C. is about 90 miles away)

A menhaden fishing boat - the large boat goes out to the fishing
spots and the smaller boats collect the fish

| When you travel for 9 hours, you take naps |

The storms ahead don't look good - we slowed
down and waited for them to pass
