Free at last! After a month and a half of repairs, the R&B finally put to sea from Virginia Boat and Yacht at 0904. Motored up the Elizabeth R. and tried some slow and muggy sailing on Willoughby Bank just east of Fort Wool. The brutal temp and humidity were only made bearable by Ant's very tasty oriental rib, chips, and Werther's picnic lunch washed down by ice cold brews. Surpised to see an Invincible class tied up at NOB Pier 12 with nary a real carrier. After relighting Gabriel and about giving up on the god of Wind, a minor miracle: A beautiful little bit of air from the North began to flow allowing motor shut down and an enjoyable hour long tack heading 110° for our new berth at Cove Marina. Unable to budge the helmsman while the wind was up (to give others a chance at steering) resulting in a permanent tiller indentation of his fingergrip. After some much-needed tack practice, entered Little Creek in a rain squall, and smoothly slipped into No. 189 on Pier 7 at around 1500.
