A few more notes before heading out.....

We have been able to figure out a new way to cruise the Chesapeake in the summer of 2013.......

SAILING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY ....by SIPPY CUP!

Most people said it couldn't be done but we proved them wrong.  They didn't have the will power or "stick-to-it-ness" that we achieved on board!  Our resident "General/Admiral - shorty Evan James" proved all the naysayers wrong and he was able to fashionably collect the complete set of cups offered in this part of the Bay.

Now most of these cups were delivered free to him.  If one of us asked for the cup the young women working would just give us a look of disdain but .....Mr. Hotshot E-man had them wrapped around his finger

On top of  being King of the sippy cup it now looks like Evan holds the record for the last swim in the bay for 2013.  The only job we had was to keep him near the boat.  He just loves the water and paddles around .......can't wait to see him swimming next year!

It's a little cool right now.

I'm going across the bay Mom!

After our haul-out we were invited to a raft up at Rock Hall with a few members of the Chesapeake Multihull Association.  We didn't do the races (they had almost no wind anyways) but we did tie up with "Sea Paws", a Voyage 47, "Morning Star", an Admiral 38 and two F-boats.  A good time was had by all.

Sea Paws is a huge boat!
