Left Rhode River at 7am with light NE winds. Wind stayed NE till about 2pm when it went slack for the next three hours. Just north of CNG plant, the wind went from NE at 6 to ESE at 15. Close reached at 6+ knots to the mouth of the Patuxent river. Thirty minutes later, well with the Patuxent, the wind died and we motored the next 3 miles to Solomons. Around 6:30pm, motored into Back Creek. Creek was too crowded so motored back out and up Mill Creek where there is lots more room. Went up to St. Johns (N38 20.291 W76 26.787). There had been a nice anchorage off the Maratime Museum on Back Creek but only room for one boat and it was taken.
Mike wanted to know what a Schooner was - the forward mast is shorter than the aft mast.
