We are still another 2+ days away from the marina in Maryland, where Blue Sky will stay forthe next few months while we get her set for more open ocean. We\u2018ve missed having radar and some other things that can help with a safe passage. So far we\u2018ve experienced some thunder storms, luckily without the lightening being too close. Believe me I pray those bolts stay away from us each time I see them. So far so good. Tomorrow we&#8221;ll be getting to the mouth of the Chesapeake. Night sailing isn&#8217;t too bad. We do three hour shifts. I am looking forward to my next full 8 hour sleep.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to update the rest of the passage in more detail along with some pictures when we get settled in the marina.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_283\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-283\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-283\" alt=\"Passanger along the way\" src=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/087.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Passanger along the way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_284\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-284\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-284\" alt=\"Today's angel card said watch for signs .. we had 5 dragon flies join us with 2 hours, then the storm warning\" src=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/svbluesky.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/096.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Today&#8217;s angel card said watch for signs .. we had 5 dragon flies join us with 2 hours, then the storm warning came on the VHF.. safe harbour here we come<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started the passage on June 20th in the afternoon.
