My wife (Sue) and daughter (Jen) came down to prepare for our trip to Norfolk. Before heading out we motored to the other side of the creek, dropped the anchor, and practiced deploying and recovering the dinghy. The winds were low and the water calm so it made sense to work out the processes to do this safely. After a number of very successful attempts we motored around in the dinghy for about an hour and then headed back to The Office. Once The Cubicle was back aboard we headed for our slip and docked for the night. 

Jen treated us to steamed crabs from Captain Jim's Crabs on Caroll Island Road. She prepared the saloon table with paper and we feasted to begin the sailing season.
