What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we were sweltering in a muggy golf round, today we were almost washed off the face of the earth. Lots of heavy downpours put a damper on the "Marina Appreciation Day" party. I have never seen so many people drenched to the skin- loading their boats, walking to the bathroom, getting to the party, etc. We felt sorry for the marina staff who had worked so hard to put on a nice party. I think we had at least an inch of rain but it was still warm. Tomorrow we will go to St. Michaels and it is supposed to be nice. There is a nice museum there which chronicles the history of the Chesapeake and are told it is a good starting point. A fellow boater showed us a route which will keep us off the bay as much as possible. Waves are 1-2 feet today but probably will be less tomorrow.
Becka and I got a walk in this afternoon with drizzly rain, but 2 miles gets you pretty wet. We went shopping for shoes for Fred this afternoon- seems like his shoes give out as we head to sea (right, Tracie and Jeff?). Tomorrow we're back into the 90's.
I hope the pictures will improve with the weather.
