Dive on the bottom to clean the prop and shaft and bottom 2' of keel where no bottom paint is left. Perfect way to escape the 95° heat!

Left desk at 5pm, great sail up to West River and then surfed waves in shipping channel down to the bridge. J35 is not the driest boat in those kind of conditions upwind but such a great double handed husband and wife type rig. Grilled dinner on the barbeque on the mooring At dusk.
45 minute moderate pace paddle around Lake Ogleton perimeter. Perfect weather low humidity.
12 to 15 knots, out of the south, dodged a couple of small squalls and then blue sky with puffy clouds. Sailed down Bay past Bloddy point came back down toward the bridge up to Thomas point and then call it a day. Starting to see some very large jellyfish ugh.
Took our inflatable tender out to blue mind to cleanup spreader boots, fix a VHF problem.
Breeze came up to about 10 kn, left the mooring at 6:15 came back at 8:30. A lovely summer evening on the bay, Wednesday night racing was in full gear, sail across to Kent Island and back and then hug the western shore where there was more wind. And a great sunset to finish.
Quick fast row around the lake, check in on our boat blue mind on the mooring, back to work.
4 to 6 knots when we left just enough to keep some breeze over the deck, died to classy calm, through anchor over went swimming. Friends did the same off of kent island, apparently big jellyfish over there, a harbinger for things to come in Annapolis?
And then yet another air mass tstorm rolled in . . . .
