Island Spirit's bow reaches the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in our HOME waters! |
We are running with our team leader, SP Catspaw as we make our way home to Rock Hall, MD. Day two, we ran 67 nautical miles from the Honga River to Rock Hall, MD departing at 0601 and arriving RHMD at 1800.

Passing under the center span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge returns us to our "HOME" waters, a place where we have sailed since 1984. We recall when leaving the sight of the Rock Hall Water Towers seemed like a long way "out" on the water and we would quickly turn around if we lost sight of them. Now, with 2,500+ nautical miles under our keel since October, 22, 2011, the Bay seems a bit smaller.

Our HOME docks |

Beyond Gratitude, we pull into Spring Cove Marina, where we have docked our boats since 1991. Madelyn Reni, the owner, is such a good friend and she always makes us feel welcome and at home. She also provided a slip for our Team Leader, buddy boat and good friend, Carey, on SP Catspaw. Thank you, Madelyn, for welcoming us back... It is great to be HOME.....

What can I say?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations?
It must be bitter sweet now that you and the crew of Cutter Loose will be parting ways for now.
that's a great shot of Island Spirit headed towards the bridge.
thanks for sharing the journey.
I look forward to the future.
Well done Hayden and Radeen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with us, what a eye opener for our trip next year.
BTW. I took the Mack Boring course on your recommendation and it was well worth it, thanks for that too.
