Between Patuxent River and the next destination of Salt Ponds Marina. The brisk northerly breeze helped us make good time from Rock Hall to the Norfolk area.

Crewmate Mike displays his spiffy new sailing attire. He knows to show up in colorful boat shoes and sailing gloves (matching, no less),

Got in just as sun was setting, a long, long day. A comfortable mooring for the evening.

After a lot of early spring preparation and outfitting, including new davits and dinghy,Mike and Al left Gratitude marina about 10am for the last time. Destination is to Solomon's Island if possible. The photo shows us just after we passed under the Bay Bridge, southbound toward the Patuxent River.
