Now in Virginia, though we missed seeing the border!

Red sky at morning, sailor take warning... We left the Little Choptank River about 6:30 AM with a beautiful sunrise, except it was quite red.  By 8:30 we were finally out onto the Bay.  It took that long to get there because we had anchored so far up river.  At first it was nice sailing but soon it deteriorated.  The northeast breeze that was predicted turned out to be southeast, our direction of travel.  Sometimes it blew hard and sometimes hardly at all.  Mostly it rained, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.  Between the rain and the clouds visability was so bad that we only saw a freighter that was probably a mile away for about 15 minutes, and we totally missed seeing the Potomac River as we crossed it.  Toward the end of the day the wind shifted to northwest and blew quite hard.  We anchored in the Great Wicomico River.  Most of our clothing was wet, despite wearing full foul weather gear, so now the interior of the boat has wet gear hanging from every available hook and handle.  The good news is that all that rain should have washed away most of the salt.
