A day of sailing

Patrick finally got to put some foul weather gear on.

Yesterday started foggy and the weather became progressively warmer and better as we sailed around Hampton and north. We tacked our way across the bay at 3 to 5 knots. As we approached a lighthouse in the middle of the Bay, a coast guard boat was dropping off a guy. Near as we could tell on the internet, people work 4 – 5 day shifts working 24 hours on location by themselves in the lighthouse.

These had to be military.

The above boats passed us going really fast, so fast it hard to get a picture. Using the binoculars they appeared the dressed in Navy Seal type uniforms. It most have been a training exercise. Curious that neither boat came up on radar?

We finished the day by giving Yantina a good washing to get the salt and grime off the decks. She is now sparkling clean!

We found a great spot anchor in an inlet north of Hampton.
