Log #68 - New anchorage on the Nansemond - August 29, 2014

Weather looked very nice for an overnight on the Nansesmond, so I took off.

The wind was from the north east all day. So, I ran with the wind on the main sail alone. I didn't bother trying to do wing and wing. I wasn't in any hurry and it was very relaxing.

When I got to where I planned to anchor, the wind was still up and wasn't going to calm down until about 9pm.

I didn't feel like swing at achor for four hours so I decided to look for a more protected spot. I didn't expect to find one but I did! Yea! It was very calm even with the stiff breeze.

Sunday morning it was dead calm, as usual. I motored back at half throttle. When the water is like glass even that is very pleasant. This was a nice trip.

Dinner. A Glazed Chicken Lean Cusine cooked in a frying pan. It was very tasty, this works great.

At anchor watching the sun set.

A really bright full moon. Was pretty but I had to close my front hatch for sleeping. It is amazing how bright a full moon is. Luckily I didn't get a moon burn.
