[WEATHER]SE wind at 10, mostly sunny, hot and humid
[STATUS]Deltaville. Last night wind unexpectedly piped up to 15 knots for 2 hours (midnight to 2 AM :-), giving us a brief bucking bronco-like ride in our exposed anchorage. Sea like glass again by this morning, then a light southeasterly as we motor-sailed to Chesapeake Boat Works in Fishing Bay. Anchored at noon, had a diagnostic electrical/corrosion session on Kite with yard owner followed by super-fast 1-hour haulout to replace zincs, then into a well-protected slip in adjacent Fishing Bay Marina in anticipation of Hurricane Michael passing through in a couple of days with gale+ force winds. Phew! Very nice, helpful folks in this pleasant town. Good spot to hide away until Michael is gone.
