Sandy Point, VA

[Kevin's Post]A front came through last night with torrential rain and northerly winds behind it. We like northerly winds because now that we are heading south it gives us better odds that we'll be able to use the wind to get some decent sailing speeds. Today did not disappoint, the forecast was for 15-20 out of the NW and we went faster than we have in a long time. We sailed about 20 miles down to the mouth of the Potomac with the wind directly behind us, then turned south after Smith Point Light for another 10 miles, then west up the Great Wicomico river. With one reef in the main, we were doing 8-9 a lot of the way and occasionally saw the speed in the double digits. We outran several monohulls. We passed about 5 miles east of Reedville, and even as far away as we were, the stench of the fish processing plant was unmistakable.
