Sequoia Log:
25 May- Depart Put In Creek headed for Cape Charles, VA. S winds all day starting 12-15 kts, then building to 15-20 kts upon approach. Anchorage in cruising guide is now a marina. Dragged anchor in the harbor due to sandy bottom. Used marina instead. Marina full of fishing/crabbing vessels and slip queens. 21 nautical miles.
Another fun day of sailing... We had a great time on a close reach across the Chesapeake. We had been to Cape Charles before by car- cute little town. We will never return by boat... The anchorage that was listed in the cruising guide is now a marina-- and anchoring in the main harbor is not a great idea either with the sandy bottom, the concrete factory across the way, and the train barges going in and out. So we stayed at the marina, which was full of working boats that stunk and kept pumping diesel into the water from their quickly filling bilges and slip queens that had marine sanctuaries growing on them. Cape Charles gets the big red "X" in the log.
Photo is of the train barge on it's way out as we were coming in.
