Home...for awhile..............................from K

Friday was a magic carpet ride. We woke early and put on our serious raingear - bibs and reflective offshore jackets. We were ready for a hurricane but determined to get a few miles closer to home. What a surprise when the sun came out and the high winds cooperated with the current. Our plan was to stop for a lovely, dry evening with P's brother and wife, but when we got to the York River, we were sailing 8+ kts and Senara couldn't be stopped, so we headed for home. We actually sailed 61 nautical miles and were home by 6 p.m! The strong current in our creek prevented us from being able to get Senara in her slip - you'd think she would be glad to get home. We had to pull along the dock until the tide slackened. But no matter, we got a warm welcome from our girls and their friends, Nick & Will and our good friends Neil and Carol, who are always willing to drop what they're doing to come celebrate with us.
