Heading to Michigan for a week in the morning so this is the last photo of the Bay Area. Look for images from Lake Michigan as I get on the water with boating friends up there.
Took a few shots along Back Creek to take advantage of the post-storm cloudy light.
Followed Capt Tom to Prestige travel lift for a short haul and powerwash. Tied up at City Dock to grab b'fast at Chick and Ruth's then went up to Severn to see J. Evans and cruise by Smith Marina. By the time we returned to Back Creek, The SeaBorn 26 was ready to go.
Sunrise was nice but not spectacular. We supplemented things with a fast run out to see some of the frieghters queued up in the main channel on their way to Port of Baltimore. I'm calling this series "Behemoths of the Bay" and some of these shots will wind up in an upcoming series of photo notecards I'm working on.
5am cast off to hunt blue fish on the Bay. No fish were harmed in the making of this event.
Still generating and curating images for a new photo notecard series.
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.
Beautiful sunrise over Annapolis and then a family lunch at the Harbor Shack in Rock Hall
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.
