The sail from Delaware City to the Sasafras River was pretty much uneventful, except for the fact that we grounded ourselves once and ran into the dock  at the Skipjack Cove Yachting Resort.  It is a good thing the  bottom is sandy.  During the course of our docking our dinghy briddle got caught in our motor propeller.  As I got into the dinghy and prepared to un coil it, I prepared for a shock when I touched the water, ( being from Maine, land of COLDWATER!!!) and found the water to be like bath water.  

The next morning we set out for the nine mile hike it took to find our way in and start towards Baltimore.  The sail to the harbor was short, it was the sail to the inner harbor which took us a long time.  After what seemed a million hours we sailed past the Francis Scott Key Buoy and into Henderson’s Wharf.  The people at Henderson were very friendly and helpful while helping us to dock.

Baltimore appears to be our home for the moment!
