FINALLY THE DEPARTURE! We woke up at 6 :05, to be ready to get out of the bay when the bridge would be open. The bridge opened at 7:30 and we went offshore in the Chesapeake to get as south s possible towards Hampton. Not a cloud in the sky. I saw tugs tow boats, hundreds of crab pots we had to dodge one after the other, lighthouses, etc. The day went well with a tail wind most of the day, with some engine help we were able to cover a fair distance (70 nautical miles) at an average of 7 knots. We anchored in a bay shortly after the Potomac River.
The heating system is still not repaired, so we got the cabin as hot as possible when running the engine to keep a lttle bit of heat. Tomorrow evening we should know if the guy in Annapolis could repair it.
