After 24+ hours of steady rain, even low tide (the time of the photo) looks pretty high.
Crab Creek, and windy.

We hosted the CBSA raft-up in Reed Creek on the Chester. 7 boats total. The theme required guests to bring an appetizer or dessert featuring a food referenced in a JB song, and everyone was up to the task. Great food and company, with beautiful weather. We sailed much of the way in each direction, though we got rained on on the way home.

I'm cranking up the kayak days in the hope of reaching 90 days by the end of September, leaving just 10 more days to accomplish in Octobeer and November. So far, the weather had been cooperative.
Crab Creek to Church Creek today.

The air temperature, water temperature, and humidity are all about the same today: 80ish. Fitting for my 80th day this year. A paddle around Crab Creek.

Much as we like Stan & Joe's Riverside, it's the ONLY place we've ever gone for lunch on Heron. So this time, we went to HIgh Tide Grill (Harper's) on Turkey Point off Selby Bay. Nice to have another option.

Watched just one tense set of tennis between Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton last night, but it was late so I went to bed. This morning, I didn't feel like getting out on the water (the hardest part is the first step), so I tossed a coin. If Ben won, I would go. Ben won! Turned out to be a nice but breezy and choppy day on Crab and Church Creeks.

We embarked on a long-ish cruise with the Sailing Club of the Chesapeake. Not members yet, but working on it.
Friday, 9/4 - took the Ks with us aboard Heron to Almshouse Creek for a wine-tasing party.
Saturday, 9/5 - sailed Calypso to Oxford. Discovered that the west side of Knapps Narrows is not deep enough for us, but plowed through. Otherwise, a delicious day of sailing to La Trappe Creek. A totally new destination for us, but worth the bumps and 6 hours of sailing. Raftup party.
Sunday, 9/6 - quick motor to the Tred Avon and DeMillo's marina after a morning of swimming and mahjong with the Whispers. Barbecue at a member's home in Oxford, followed by ice cream.
Monday, 9/7 - sailed around Blackwalnut Point almost all the way home. Brisk sailing, but after 5 hours we needed to stop tacking if we wanted to actually get home at some point.
