On Friday prospects for sailing looked bleak: rain & small craft advisories Fri PM through Sat afternoon, but we prepared anyway. Mid afternoon, Reece spiked a fever of 103, and our plans were sacked, but without sufficient enthusiasm to ensure unpacking. We woke to a still, gray, drizzly Saturday and a boisterous, fully recovered son. We enjoyed Mom and Dad's breakfast hospitality: pancakes on the dock, while we reviewed our options. The small craft advisory/rain/cold front was moving through slowly, but expected to clear to a beautiful fall afternoon. Reece remained fever free, so we optimistically set sail around 1:30 expecting the breeze to fade. The wind stiffened instead, but maintained a favorable direction. We ran out the Severn and road a beam down to the Rhode where we tucked in at dusk while the breeze finally stilled. The kids have excellent sea legs and bright dispositions for cruising.
