Distance race to R2 using compass because of overcast and foggy afternoon. Tide should have been flowing but mid-bay there was a strong southerly tide that impacted turns around R2. Lesson in Chesapeake tides.

Ride out to Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse aboard the "Bodaciou" from the Annapolis Maritime Museum on Back Creek. Docked at lighthouse and spent 1.5 hours touring and learning its history. Great job by all including the docents that know all the details of life at the lighthouse.
David Sites approached to take pictures although given the cloudy and hazy day, not ideal conditions.
