I tried to go sailing yesterday A little more wind than I wanted when I left the slip at 10:30 died when I reached Port Royal Sound. I didn’t feel like drifting so powered back and anchored for the afternoon and night near the mouth of Skull Creek and found moments of peace. I shot a short video there which you can see at:

After a quiet night, interrupted at 4 AM by the wake of a power boat passing at speed, I raised anchor at first light just after 6 AM. It came up clean as the anchor always has around this island. There was so much dew on the deck I wore foul weather gear. Low tide had just passed, so I had the flood with me on the return to the marina and it often pushed us diagonally as we rounded the curve to the west of the sand islands.
I docked at 7 in a cloud of no-seeums which devoured me before I could spray myself with OFF. Despite the contradiction, I have never seen so many no-seeums. It was difficult not to inhale them. So I adjusted the dock lines and did the minimum necessary before walking home. I’ll go down tomorrow and straighten up.
