Sailed to Baltimore on a beam reach and anchored off of Anchorage Marina for the night. The next morning brought strong westerly winds with Gale warnings. Had a very fast sail back to Rock Creek on a broad reach hitting 9.9 knots at one time using only a partially furled genoa in winds of 20 to 28 knots with gusts to 34 knots.
