The heat has taken a break!  Dobbs and I enjoyed beam-reaching toward Solomons on a "gift" southeast breeze at 5-10kts.  The breeze dwindled ahead of a squall that passed over as we were turning into the mouth of the Patauxent.  We anchored in Mill Creek and reveled in not dripping sweat like the last two days.  Painted, reclined in the cockpit, swam.
