On Sunday, September 19, we left Baltimore and cruised down to Solomons, MD for what we thought would be an overnight stop. As the winds picked up, we stayed until Thursday, September 23 when we left for Deltaville, VA. Cruising wasn't too bad that day until south of Smith Point when we had 3' waves coming at the bow for about ten miles. It was almost like going through ship wakes and as suddenly as they started, they stopped. We arrived and Dozier's Regatta Point marina and knew we would be here for several days based on the forecast of wind from a tropical storm coming up the Atlantic. On Wednesday, September 29, it got so windy, and we were rocking around in our slip in the basin; we moved into a slip in a covered shed. Our plans to get to Oriental were delayed for over a week at this point. On Friday, September 30, the forecast was SE 25 to 30 knots with gusts to 40 with waves 4' building to 5'-6'. Who knows how long we will be here!?
