"Home" Again

We're back in Rock Hall. Hannah, fortunately, was little to no impact to us except for the pocket book as Jabin's was not a cheap place to stay. But, it was a prudent decision to stay there. We found out once we returned to Rock Hall that all the boats on T-docks (which would have included us) were sent to other marinas in the area. Don't know where we would have gone. Anyway, we're back.

The top wind speed we encountered during Hannah was 30.4 knots, which happened around 4:50 pm on Saturday, Sept. 6. About an hour or so after that, we had Chinese food delivered to the boat. It was entertaining for Quinn & I to watch Gregg and this kid try to exchange money & food across the about 6 feet stretch between the boat and the dock.

Plans for our immediate future include trying to find a few good days to anchor out for the first time. St. Michael's is supposed to be very nice - it's about a 35 nm sail for us which means a pretty long day.

Today, Gregg worked on getting the radar installed. I got to hoist him half way up the mast (ok, I used an electric winch), and then lower him back down by hand. No, I didn't feel the line slip at all. :) I'm sure he will give more details about the actual installation process at some point.
