Phewy!!!!! It's hot!

Left Thursday, June 24 and sailed up to Dunns Cove behind Tilghman Island. It was a very nice and calm evening. The next morning, Friday, June 25th, we "motored" up t0 Dobbins Island on the Magothy. Didn't make plans to spend any time in these places. Wanted to get north far enough to be able to swim without nettles.
We arrived in Whorten Creek on Saturday, June 26th, around 1:00 pm. We had a great day just jumping in and out of the water to cool off.
We plan to stay here on Whorten Creek today, Sunday, June 27th. We know it's gonna be another hot one. And the new dinghy we bought goes like a bat out of ..... We're having fun with it. BUT, we do have to watch our wake!!!!! So far, this has really been a nice trip! And we have many more miles to go along the Chesapeake.

Some Sailing Time

Got the boat squared away and going to set out into the bay this week for a few weeks. We did some good stuff to the boat this year. Painted the interior, replaced the inside trim of our Lewmar portholes. Bill made the trim by using a vacuum seal machine. Pretty cool! We had new outside cusions made. The canvas was resewn. We're looking pretty spiffy! The water tank began to leak and Bill replaced it. We try to take care of these things when they begin to talk to us. And not wait until the problem is SCREAMING at us. There are places we want to see that we haven't had the chance to. And we want to get down to Hampton Roads for one of their Friday night block parties. Fun to watch the people. And also planning to get up to Middle River in July for the dinghy poker run. We had our 4 year old granddaughter, Olivia, on the boat for a weekend. It turned out to be really nice and she was a natural. We have had two of the three grandchildren on board. The 3rd will be down in August and hopefully will get the chance to come aboard. We're gonna make sailors of these kids yet!
