Yepper.. we'd have the ferry (harbor taxi), take us over, from where the sailboats are moored, or one of the JS.. But that was a while back for me.. The Harbor Taxi comes by and gives you a flag, raise it up and they would come get you..

Woke up to 19 degrees here this morning. The pics above look very inviting, but I've got a feeling even Destin is pretty cold this morning.

Squeezing the last few days out of the season!

On Saturday, December 4th, I took advantage of the 10-15 kt NW winds to take the boat out and "sail around the block". That's what I call heading out of Mill Creek, down the Magothy River 5 miles, and then across the Chesapeake Bay about 3 miles to the east, around the lighthouse, and back home. The yellow sail track shows the first part of the sail.



It was a bright, sunny, cold day with the high in the 40's, so I bundled up and brought along lots to eat and drink to keep my spirits high. Here I am aiming at the lighthouse wing-and-wing in some shifting winds.



The Baltimore Light was purchased by a group of enthusiasts who have renovated the structure.


You can see on this part of the chart that just east of the lighthouse is the shipping lane (Craighill Channel) with its range, which is a pair of higher and lower white lights that line up when viewed from the center of the channel.

A while back I was curious to see what the range lights looked like, and I sailed right up to the lower southern-most part of the range. You can see the higher element in the background. The shipping lane turns westward towards the port of Baltimore south of these lights that are directed towards ships passing under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Annapolis.

I had to tack a few times through the mouth of the Magothy River, and the lack of the heavy summer traffic made that manoever easy. You can see my upwind track to the northwest on this part of the chart.


The low sun of the December afternoon lit up with a wintry glow the shoreline of Gibson Island on the way back to the marina.

By the time I had docked and closed up the boat, darkness fell, and this may have been my last daysail of the season.

Don't talk like that!! Winter Sailing is a hoot... You can always come on down south and go swimmin with us in South Alabama.. The waters still warm..


Thanks for showing that day of sailing. What a great place to sail..
