The nor'easter has moved on, taking the wind with it, but leaving us with sunny, blue sky days. As soon as the sun climbed above the trees to the east, the air and Grace warmed nicely. I used the morning dew to chamois the topsides, wiping away the salt crust of beating to weather the other day. By 11am, I was sitting in the cockpit barefoot, practicing ukelele. A good Fall day, indeed. After lunch, we motored east to Oxford, got fuel and water, and anchored in Town Creek. We're here to see a play tomorrow, "Ravenscroft", staged by the Tred Avon Players.
