Rarely see this much of the bottom at the community dock. Unexpectedly windy today too.

Not just the predicted Small Craft Advisory and rain, but our neice's wedding weekend down in Virginia.

Calypso was dropped in the water at Jabins' and delivered to her home berth on Spa Creek. It's sailing season!

Ah, spring, when the winds push all the pollen-y gunk into our cove.

I may sound like a 2-year-old, declaring something to be mine. But on this weekday April day, Crab Creek and the South River were truly mine alone. No motorboats, jetskis, watermen. And the water is still winter clear (except for the rafts of pollen here and there).

Rick figured out what the problem was with the water cooling system: a shredded impeller. New impeller acquired, and with Brett's help, they managed to remove all the bits and pieces of the old one from the hoses. With that done, Rick and I took Heron from Calypso's berth on Spa Creek (where Heron wintered in the vain hope that we might use her this winter) to her home at Liberty Marina on the South River. It was the tail end of a Small Craft Advisory (isn't it always?), and there was a bit of chop, but it turned out fine. And we managed to depart the slip in Annapolis, and enter the slip in Edgewater without mishap.

Need to deal with all the stuff that makes cruising comfortable. Over the season, things break, spoil, fail or simply need updating or cleaning. This was a day for inventory, acquisitions, and cleaning. Sailing days are nigh.

Small craft advisory -- mostly manageable. But the wind direction and the high banks of our little branch of Crab Creek funneled the wind right in my face. Tough getting out, but easy coming back.

Drove to DC Friday night for a concert, not remembering that the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Ugh, the traffic! But glad we got to gawk a little. Closer to home, on the other hand, blossoms mean pollen -- achoo! Oh well, gotta make the most of spring days.
