#59 and 60 Kiptopeake? Nope, Back River

Trip dates: 
Monday, September 23, 2024 to Tuesday, September 24, 2024
Trip length: 
2 days
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Probably due to a little late start, tide being against me and the NE wind right on my nose. I was making terrible time even before the wind let up mid afternoon. Chart plotter predicted arrival after sunset so Kiptopeake would have to wait for another time. I turned towards Back River for the overnight. Clouds thickened and the forecast continued to go downhill with rain forecast in the morning. Fortunately only light rain for the sail home. I needed to wear a raincoat for a little while but overall it was a pleasant and fairly fast sail back home.
