0800 June 1, 2011; I had a nice stay at the Comfort Marina and a free breakfast!

I headed out at 0700 for the local gas dock and they weren’t open.  When they still didn’t open at 0800 I left with the 18 spare gallons I had on board. I can do 6-7 hours of cruising with that much fuel and Annapolis is only 5.5 hours away. The weather was very hot and muggy and the wind was from the south which gave me following seas and tide.  The coast line was a bit curvy so I stayed out about 2 miles to get the best current and a straighter line from point A to B.  I made Annapolis in 4.5 hours, topped off my gas tank, only used 11 gals, and headed for the city marina.  I am now tied up along the main walk way and getting ready for the thunder storms they say are coming.  I have been on the ICW for the past 17 days and each and every day has been beautiful, weather wise.  Tomorrow we are off for C&D canal and Cape May.
