Depart Deltaville 0800. Winds were 15-25kts at 30* off starboard bow. Out of the channel all sails hoisted and running 7+ which is awesome for us! Later we had to turn directly into the wind so we pulled in the sails. When we reached the inlet of the York river the tide combined with the winds made for heavy chop directly bow on. We fell back off the 30* and deployed the main. We had to alter the original course but it helped us tremendously. Twice we accidentally disengaged the auto pilot with our knees on the manual clutch, causing a couple whirly-gigs in the course! That should be funny on our track! Ended the day with sun and climate’s as we arrived in Hampton, VA at the mouth of the Atlantic. 

On to the Bottom of the Chesapeake!
