Day 4 - Solomons to Great Wicomico (23.7 nm, 6:19 hrs)
Raised anchor at 6:30am and dropped it at 8:30pm.  Long, rough day with SSE winds at 15 to 20 kts - right on the nose.  Never did reef but wished I had as it went from 10 to 12, then 14 to 16 and gusts to 20.  Big waves and lots of pounding.  Tacked 10 to 16 times.  Anchored in Barrett Creek on the Great Wicomico - N37 50.433 W76 20.803.

Hooper Light - on the Eastern side of the Bay below Solomons.  To me, Hooper Light marks the area where things, south of which, are somewhat sparce on the bay.

This is a photo I took in May, 2010 from Hoopers Island (showing the East side of the light).
