Another day of wildfire smoke surrounding us, but not as warm. Paddled to Church Creek, which, like Crab Creek, is suffering from an algal bloom (which, alas, allows jellyfish to flourish).

They key is to get on the water early, before the heat and humidity take hold.

Nothing is ever easy.
Meant to leave tor St. Michael's on the morning of 7/10, at the 9 a.m. bridge. Bridge was stuck until 2:30, when we finally got out. Got as far as Tilghman Creek that day, adn spent a lovely night at anchor.
Arrived in St. Michael's by 9 on Saturday morning for the Sabre/Back Cove extravaganza. And it was everything: antique cars, spirit and chocolate tastings, lobster dinners, and friends old and new.
Sailed all the way home on Sunday, with perfect wind except maybe in Eastern Bay,

Finally, the work at the community dock is done and I can access my kayak and the water. Stayed in Crab Creek, with Rick for company.

Sailed and motored and water-taxiied from Annapolis to Baltimore, and all around Baltimore. Stayed at the centrally located Inner Harbor Marina with AYC and Back Cove groups. Toured the tall ships, watched the Blue Angels and other teams, and had a wonderful time.

A brisk (and gusty) sail from Annapolis to the Rhode River, where we rafted with friends. Alas, the JELLYFISH were are already here, before we even had a chance to swim this season. Grrrrr!
We are short a boat right now (Heron is having her bottom replaced), and the kayak is inaccessible because the community dock area is enduring shoreline repairs. Don't tink I"m going to make 100 this year.

Three days in lesser-treaveled creeks with the AYC cruising fleet: Meredith Creek off Whitehall Bay and Swan Creek. Both new to me as places to anchor. Mostly motoring, and a spectacular thunderstorm -- albeit brief -- in Swan Creek. Gorgeous sail on Sunday headed toward home, clocking 7 knots from Rock Hall to the Bay Bridge.
