Met an old friend at Rod & Reel in Chesapeake Beach for a day of fishing. Ten minutes into the trip I found myself bobbing in the Bay at the rear of his boat, unwrapping wires and rebar from his lower unit after we ran over some type of poorly marked pot or cage. Fortunately there was no damage to the boat and we proceeded with our outing.

Bay was surprisingly calm given the steady breeze. Got fuel at Annapolis Landing and had a BCI lunch at Cantler's with the exec committee.

We did a quick out and back to Big Mack's BBQ at the site of the former Marker 5 restaurant at Knapps Narrows. We made plans to visit Tickler's at the Wylder Hotel next time we venture that way.
That morning we learned that Exit Strategy had won a Naptown Scoop poll of favorite boat names in Annapolis.

First launch from the new mooring whips. Almost snagged the front whip line on the T-top as we departed.Overall it's a great setup and improvement to nestling up next to the dock. Just need to do some final fine-tuning based on usage patterns.
Took an easy cruise to Ego Alley and tied up on the bulkhead for a nice lunch at Dock St. Bar. Joined by Tom H and Tom R.

I ordered a pair of 14' Dock Edge+ mooring whips from DIY-Docks.com. I installed them today in advance of the possible arrival of side effects from Cat 3 Hurricane Erin.

Exit Strategy in slip E1 at CBMM
We made our first visit to St. Michaels in the past 2-3 seasons. Decided to get a membership at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum that offers docking privileges for supporters. The cruise down was extra smooth on the Bay, Eastern Bay, and especially on the glassy Miles River. We grabbed a couple of bikes at CBMM and had a great lunch at Corah's Corner and then a lively chat with some other visitors at Carpenter St. Saloon. Tony the bartender was entertaining and friendly.
