A beautiful day of sailing toward Cornfield Harbour

Thursday, October 22, 2026

We leave our anchorage at 8:30! We're happy, we're going to have good wind! We only have 23 nautical miles to cover, so even at an average speed of 5 knots, we have plenty of time.

So with great pleasure we set the sails. The wind is good and we make a few tacks. There are several sailboats in Chesapeake Bay, which is really nice! Jonathan prefers when there's more action, but I like this kind of sailing. With an average speed of 4.6 knots, we keep to our schedule.

We still sail a bit more sportingly, with a peak at 8.1 knots!

That day we sail for a total of 4 hours 45 minutes, on a trip of just under six hours.

Upon arriving in Cornfield Harbour, we have to navigate around the many crab pots. They're everywhere in the anchorage area! When we arrive, we're alone, but five other boats arrive in turn.

We're very pleased with this beautiful day of sailing that ends early! Now it's time to work!
