9/16: Worton Creek Marina to Shaw Bay

9/17: Shaw Bay to St. Michaels for log canoe races.  Dolphin in the Wye!  Then reaching and running up the Miles River to the drawbridge and beating back down to Hunting Creek.

9/18: Hunting Creek to St. Michaels for the last log canoe race of 2022.  Then sailing up the Wye River to Bryantown Landing and back, via Wye Narrows to bridge and back, and down around and up to Dividing Creek off Wye East River.  Serene as always.

9/19: Dividing Creek to Castle Harbor Marina.  Walking on Wye Island in the morning - over to Solo Cove along the road and then Schoolhouse Trail through the cool, shady woods (hot today - 88 degrees and sunny).  Sailed out of the Wye and out the Miles River to the green off Parsons Island, where the wind faded and 2.5 knots broad-reaching just wasn't cutting it.  We wanted to make Castle Harbor before 4pm, so we motored up to and through Kent Narrows, and then, with a freshening breeze, sailed the last mile and a half to the marina.  

9/20: Rigging Inspection on Hunter 44 - yep, commuted to work by sailboat.  Sailed/motored to Swan Creek in Rock Hall after.

9/21: Home to Worton Creek Marina.
