Day Two - HDG to Rock Hall MD

Its was the first day, for me at least, with the boat moving. I was under power all day as the wind was blowing from the due south and, naturally, I was traveling due south. I guess I could have tacked my way down here but I really wanted to make some time.

And time I made... turns out the beast will do 7.5 mph on glassy water and did a respectable 6mph with a pretty strong head wind. All this with a little 6hp motor. I am impressed...

I am having the time of my life. I don't think that I have ever done anything that felt so good and so damn inherent before. In a former life, perhaps I was a pirate. Muuuwwaaahhhaaaaa

Also turns out that my bargain basement boat includes a working autopilot. I took advantage of that all day. What a difference that makes!!!

Having a blast. Tomorrow I hope to get the sails run up! We'll see!
