Worton's Creek and Rock Hall

Finallly the weather let up so that I could finally leave Havre De Grace. I was wondering when I was ever going to get out of that that place. The voyage from Havre De Grace to Worton's Creek went well at first but then the wind stopped and I was forced to motor the last 3 miles or so. Once Inside Worton's Creek I found out what all these Easr Coast sailors have all been talking about. The creek was a perfectly dead calm and no a single other boat was anchored there. I didnt even see anyone else the time whil I was there, even though there were tons of boats at the near by marinas. There is nothing around the Marina so I just stayed on the boat and ate dinner and played some tunes.

I woke up really early after spending the night at Worton's Creek to get a head start towards Rock Hall. The trip to Rock Hall was around 26 Nautical Miles. I was making good time and then the wind died. I was forced to motor. I started to get worried though because I only had a little bit of gas left. It might have gotten me all the way there but I really had no idea how many miles I could get out of a tank of gas. I prayed for wind cause I didnt want to be straded and there was no where safe to anchor. Luckily the wind came back, although there was only enough to push me at about 2 kts. The wind kept up to push me all the way into where I was going to anchor at swan creek near Gratitude and Rock Hall.

The Internet is slow here so ill add the pictures later..........Here is a few:
