Fleet Bay to Reedville

 I started early at 9AM to try to do the 45 nM trip to Solomon Islands.  The seas were very rolly and the chart plotter estimated my arrival to be 7 ish … which was the earliest that I could arrive… otherwise it would be dark.

I decided to divide the trip into two parts by pulling into Reedville about 10 miles closer (13 according to the chart plotter.  There were several curves.

I pulled into Reedville and tried to call several marinas to see if they had propane.  Nobody did.  I anchored near a Sabre named Valhalla.  The crew soon returned to their boat with a large black dog.  

I set up my dinghy to go into town and stopped by Valhalla to chat.  The were going down to the Bahamas but had lots of boat problems and spent the winter in Beaufort NC.  

I walked through town, everything was closed.  Nice little town.

I returned to Bellum when Bob and Lynne waved me over to Valhalla.  It turns out Valhalla was the 9th boat who were unable to catch up with the Sail to the Sun Rally!

I cleaned up the boat and tried to open the dinghy motor pad lock which is now rusted.
