We took the visiting Erickson in-laws and S&K to lunch at the Dock House Restaurant in Kent Narrows. We somehow managed to miss or dodge the downpour that hit Annapolis while we were gone, not to mention the deluge that caused flooding in the DMV. Only got a few refreshing sprinkles on the way around Love Point and back home to Eastport. Highly recommend Dock House for great views, excellent sirloin/brisket burgers, and fresh crushes.

Finally got a semi-decent sunrise forecast so I headed out with 1st Mate Ari. Didn't amount to much but there's never a bad morning on the water.
Finally wrapped up the rebuild and reinstall of the port stern pull up cleat. Turned out great but the process of removal and reinstall was all done by feel with a long socket extension and not something I want to repeat. Celebrated by cruising over to Mill Creek and then to The Beacon for lunch.
Cleaned mounting location after removal of a pull up cleat that shook off some of its fasteners internally. Received new bolts and rebuilt the cleat during the day and will reinstall the whole fresh assembly in the morning. Required a few hacks and workarounds as the fasteners are in a blind spot that can only be reached by a long extension and deep socket.
Sunrise was a bust because of cloud cover but the water was as peaceful as ever.
Took the 'Fish to the end of Back Creek then to Chesapeake Harbor for a morning coffee run. On the way out of CH I saw a bald eagle fly off from his perch on the channel marker. Flood watch in effect for Annapolis later today.

Latest item in the center console's shakedown process was to test the electric windlass. Worked like a champ at the dock. Since the engines were running anyway I decided to cast off and idle my way to the end of Back Creek. Serene little jaunt as the temps had cooled and the rain softly fell around me.
