Hanging out in Maryland

Our inlet looks a lot like a Wisconsin lake, only it feeds directly into the bay with access to the Ocean.

Our little inlet is cozy, probably less than a hundred acres in size. It provides us good shelter from the wind action and wind. We now are getting better at setting the anchor first time in the Chesapeake mud. We have gone out on the South River and the bay a few times when the winds are right to go for a sail.

Observing the wildlife on the Bay.

Summer is definitely in full swing here. The power boat crowd is everywhere. Social distancing is become less noticeable on weekends, boats are rafted up as people get back to socializing. They still wear masks at the store and out shopping, but not so much when out at the beach or on the water.

Give a guy a motor and a surf board and this is what happens no matter where you are.
Social Distancing, Maryland style.
Welcome to space management on a sailboat, every square inch is used and filled with something.

We continue to get a least a couple of packages per day and continue maintenance and our casual refit. So far the wind instruments and wires leading from the cockpit to mask have all been replaced. Connections for depth, boat speed sensors have been redone. We fed three new leads up the mast bring new cables up the mast in the future (this was obviously easier said then done!). It has a great opportunity to be a part of all of the refit maintenance to expand my knowledge of how the boat works.

So all we have to do is get the white wire from here…
… to there!
