I stared sailing up from Coinjoint Bay to North Landing. There's plenty of sailing at 6 to 8 knots, but mind you, the speed transducer seems uncalibrated.
About 2 PM, wind gusts were hitting 30, and the sail was furled as we were facing the winds. The river was going to be curving a lot for 15 nautical miles to the Chesapeake Bay free dock. With an abundance of caution, I decided to anchor at Blackwater 2.
I took a nap, and then I decided to try to fix the leaky water pump. I discovered the water pump drive belt had a scar, so I replaced it.
The shaft packing was behaving well. But there was a fair bit of oil under the engine sump.
