Still and heavy. Storms predicted for later.

Lowest tide I've ever seen on Crab Creek. Still smoky, but the rains of the day before calmed it down.
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).
Got out before 6:30 to avoid the heat of the day. Paddled to Ferry Point.
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,
Cool cormorant hanging out on the 6 knot sign outside Crab Creek.
The heat wave seems to have broken a bit. But still steamy. Crab Creek cruise.
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.
