We stayed extra days in Brunswick to avoid forecasted storms. Very clever we thought but funny how things turn out. Never saw the predicated storms and left very early on Friday morning in beautiful weather and low winds. High tide, plenty of water, minimal current, yay! Sing it with us...
"But then the weather started getting rough... our tiny ship was tossed... the courage of the wide-eyed crew, was very quickly lost."
One hour into our 9 hour cruise in beautiful blue skies the winds began to roar. Long day in four foot seas to say the least but "the Bles-sing!" was a blessing and we safely made the trip landing at Sunbury Crab Co and Marina around 3:30. That's when more fun started. We worked with an under-trained dock hand for about an hour in a 17 to 30 mph cross wind to get her close enough to toss lines. Spare you the details... suffice to say our least favorite trip since the start of our adventures.
The Marina is located off the beaten path up the Medway River. Thought it might be sheltered from the wind but... not the case.
Bad day on the Medway
