A beautiful day while protected by the islands. One the Bay a little different story...
I started the day paddling my kayak over to one of the islands. Aware that this is a nature preserve, I called the Research Reserve Office before going. As long as I stay on the beach and don't mess with their experiments, no problem. Kind of near to have an island all to myself, even if it is only 500' in size.
Sailing south there was a 15+ knot wind out of the NE making for a rough ride. Waves probably a little over 3 feet. I was happy once I turned into Back River and the water smoothed out.
I didn't take any pictures while sailing as I had my hands full and occasional spray entering the cockpit.
