The good 15 knot wind only lasted for about an hour on our way out of the Choptank. We noticed the digital and magnetic compasses disagreed 90 degrees! We couldn't remember moving anything magnetic in the boat that could have caused this, so I took out all the canned goods from the pantry and the music speakers on the shelf. These things are in the vicinity of the digital compass, but really should be too far to make a difference.
We motored a few circles once we were away from the crabpots and crab boats to synch the compass again. We got them to closely agree and i put everything back except the speakers and it stayed fine.
We motorsailed across the bay in light winds, while a storm passed south of us through Norfolk.
nice "hat off" to us
