Debbie and I spent four nights with CSSM members Elusive, Capricorn, Kayara, Moonshadow, Flow and Mystral. Our first Destination was Dun Cove. After 20 miles of upwind sailing we had engine failure at the entrance to Knapps Narrows and instead sailed around Tilghman Island arriving at Sunset. A decision was made to stay the second day at Dun Cove. That was wise and we had perfect Northerly sailing conditions to Solomon's Island. Flow, Moonshadow, Mystral and Mystic stayed at Zahniser's Marina. Our final night was in Fishing Creek off the Little Choptank.  A nice southerly breeze came in around noon making for a pleasant sail to our destination. On our return to port, there was no wind but we did see about 50 dolphins off of Popular Island.
