Mill Creek is exceptional for providing protection from the wind. Following the unruly forecast, Suzanne and I set off expecting to take two days to get to Pocomoke City. An hour or so after starting, we had the second reef set and were surfing down waves on a broad reach, averaging well above our hull speed, which is rather unsettling. Suzanne said that while she was setting the reef, the waves behind me (I was at the tiller with my back to the wind) were quite unsettling. Anyhow, we covered the distance to Pocomoke City in one day with time to spare but we were too tired to do anything.
