Underway by 11 after filling water tanks. Winds NNW 9-12 Sunny and temps in the high 60's - perfect weather. I raised the sails immediately and motor sailed out to the bay. We went on a broad reach all the way across the bay and then jibbed back towards The Magothy River where another broad reach took us into the river. We dropped the sails and anchored in the same spot I did with Sue the previous day. We deployed the dinghy and explored behind the 'little' Island. We actually helped tow a power boater out of trouble. Back to The Office for dinner of grilled burgers, string beans and potato buttons. Ice cream sandwiches for desert. I cleaned up from dinner and then Steve went to bed. I watched some videos on my laptop and then finally retired for the evening.
Up at 6 am but too cold so I went back to bed. Finally everyone was up at 7:45 for a light breakfast and then stowed the engine and prepared the dinghy for towing. We motor sailed out of the river and raised the sails once in the bay. We sailed on a broad reach across the river almost to Kent Island and then jibbed back towards the bridges sailing into Annapolis. We dropped the sails and motored to the mooring balls after securing one on the second attempt. We deplored the engine on the dinghy again and explored all around Spa Creek. Back to the boat for appetizers and drinks and Steve treated dinner at Pussurs. Finally back to the boat for boaters midnight.
Up early to have coffee ready. We recovered the dinghy and engine for our trip home. All secure we released the painter from the ball and motored around the mooring field and headed out. We motor sailed as winds were light from the SW. Temps were in the low 70's in a sunny sky. We sailed through the cut as the winds finally picked and were steady. We dropped them in Hawk Cove and then motored in. Steve gathered his stuff and headed home.
