August 9, 2015:  Inching Our Way Down the Eastern Shore

      After breakfast and one more lesson for Bill in Navionics, smart phone fashion, we followed Serianna out to the mouth of the harbor, Serianna going East, and we turned West. As the morning went on the wind and waves became stronger against us, so we again fore-shortened our route plans, and made for Port Bickerton.

      As we entered the harbor we came to a fork with channels going left and right. With Kathy reading the cruising guide I mistook the directions and we proceeded to what we thought was the wharf and anchorage described by the guide book. It looked inviting, so we tied up with one fish boat in company, no one around. Eventually a fellow drove in and said it was ok for us to tie there, so we stayed and walked up the road in search of some ice and maybe a Post Office. We found both and then walked back to the boat.

      We decided to get underway and look for an anchorage, so having figured out my misunderstanding of Kathy's directions, I headed up the other arm of the harbor and anchored for the night. Light rain, which spared us during our walk was falling as we anchored. During the night we had heavy rain, which filled our dinghy right to the seats, must have been between 1 and 2 inches, but we were dry in our bunk.
