Motoring into the wind, we found Batten Bay and Chuckatuck creek right on the bow.  Laura consulted our cruising guide, and it basically said "don’t waste your time going up this creek unless you just like to explore."  Well… they turned out to be right.  Batten Bay is really pretty, but there isn’t a lot of deep water.  We just wanted to get out of the wind and make lunch!  No such luck.  The SW wind was HOWLING under the bridge, and there just wasn’t any place good to anchor.  So… Laura warmed-up some chili while I motored us back out towards the James.
