Trip length:
1 day
Type of watercraft:
Sail
After a cup of coffee, I fired up the diesel, raised the anchor and sail to head back to Old Point Comfort. Getting into my slip was a bit of a challenge with the outgoing tidal current. I took 3 tries before I was successful using the boat momentum againt the current to give me enough time to turn as I was backing in. I will have to experiment with different techniques. One that crossed my mind, rather than back all the way in, what if I came in forward then turned 90 degrees straight into the outgoing current then let it drift backwards into my spot? We'll see. There is enough fuel for days worth of docking attempts. haha
(I guess i didn't take any pictures)
