Planned to do yardwork before the day heated up but got a late start. So Plan B was to grab a few boat cushions with splitting seams and get to work hand stitching them back into shape. Turned up the A/C and converted the kitchen island to an upholstery repair shop. Just as I was wrapping things up we got a huge thunderstorm. Went for a quick creek cruise after reinstalling all the repaired cushions.

Avoided going out in the heat of the day but waiting until 5pm didn't make much of a difference. It's still filthy hot out there.

Original plan was to go to Big Owls Tiki Bar in Kent Narrows but the 3 footers in the Bay had us laughing and soaked before we made it to the Bay Bridge. So we looped around and went to Cantler's to dry off and get lunch. Then on the way back to Eastport we got soaked all over again and loved every minute of it.

Got a bit of a later start (5:23am) but saw a nice bit of color before heading to the harbor and a spin around Ego Alley.

Visited Rod & Reel Marina to scout out day docking rates for a fishing trip tentatively planned for Thursday. Sparkling conditions on the Bay today. Tried to have lunch at Skipper’s Pier in Deale but got there half an hour early so we jetted back to Eastport. Fun trip.

I'll never get too many sunrise cruises under my belt. Today I also trolled around some freighters at anchor out on the Bay with the rising glow as their backdrop.

New bow-out docking solution
On the way to Clement Ck
Clouds building over Severna Park
Now that my port stern cleat has been repaired I can dock the center console bow out as originally preferred. This required repositioning/reversing of the heavy foam fenders that match up with the bow and stern rub rails. Of course nothing is easy and one recalcitrant screw had to be hacksawed off. To cool down I took the 'Fish up the choppy Severn River to Clement Ck and back.

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.

Colors bloom over Greenbury Point
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.
