Now, let's see what my daily captain's logs say...
After fighting through that, I heaved-to in the near-zero wind until it picked up a bit. The forecast said east wind, but it was a bit more north-east and I could hardly get away from land, but very gradually did so. Wind picked up until I was moving along at around five or six knots by sunset. Forward running lights were, once again, OUT: was that issue up forward where I had problems in Maine or where? During the night, the wind gradually died until I had to drop main, reduce jib, and heave-to just before sunrise.
I needed a bath and some exercise, so swam and scrubbed bottom in about 1500ft of water. At noonish, the predicted SE wind showed up... as a NW wind: oh, well! Still, I'm trying to keep a bearing about 60deg, so that is fine. Wind is perhaps 5 kts, adding a 2 or 3 kts to my speed. Waves have increased a bit since my swim, so that is probably all for this trip.
, then sailed to Annapolis for the first time (snagged a mooring there for a couple days), and will shortly head back to Deltaville. Let's hope I can make it down there as winds are not going to be favorable.
