Great Wicomico River - Reedville to East River - Mobjack Bay

We had a good run from Reedville to the East River on Mobjack Bay. We were able to sail for several hours as the wind was on our starboard rear quarter. The waves averaged 4 feet and gave us a good push with the boat often surfing at 7 knots or greater. Mobjack Bay is quit impressive. It is a large bay covering an area 4 miles wide and 7 miles deep with 4 sizable tributary rivers. We headed up the East River to explore and anchor. Beautiful homes are sprinkled along the shoreline. There is one old water mill on one of the creeks feeding the river. It was a warm sunny day and we thoroughly enjoyed being able to poke around some parts of the Chesapeake Bay which we have not been as of yet. We are looking forward to having more time on the Bay next summer. Now, we are focused on getting south as quickly as possible without driving ourselves too hard. It is getting colder each day.
