Sequoia Log:
21 May- Depart 10:15 after taking on 32 gallons diesel and pump out. SW-S wind all day 13-17 kts. Anchored in Crisfield w/ Noon Somewhere 17:30. Cold front moved through between 22:00 and 02:00 with NW winds 30-40 kts. Reset anchor after drag due to 180* swing. 32 nautical miles.
We had a great first day of our trip... going upwind, but nothing outrageous. No horrible beating or anything. It was a wee bit chilly for the first day. Definitely a sweater and long pants day. Note for the future: we should have set and dug in a second anchor since we knew the wind was going to do a major shift. Sunset photo is at Crisfield.
