6 December - Day #4. The winds continue to blow until 11:00 AM. They stop and the tide is just about high so I elect to exit via Hole-in-the-wall, the southern route. At day mark #6, with the swells at 3' and the tide at +1.3' we bounce off the bottom. Remind me not to go exploring when the seas are running. The narrow channel forces us to stay beam-to for about 15 minutes. There weren't any happy campers aboard as we rolled wildly. Into deeper water we turned south and ran with the swell. Dropped the hook in Pepper Creek which is on the NE side of Mobjack Bay, VA. 22nm today and 105nm total. DBH
