Arriving Northwest Creek Marina

Sunspot Baby is back in her home slip in Northwest Creek Marina. We arrived yesterday afternoon about 1600 (4:00 pm). Conditions were good.

No matter how enjoyable the voyage it is always great to get home.

There is a long to-do list for the boat and equipment. Listing it all here would make for more detail than any reader would like to see but they start with some major unloading.

We had too many objectives to achieve them all. A priority was to spend time with Becky and family before they move back to California. I think we did pretty well there but regardless of how much time you have with your kids, it’s never enough.

There are a lot of locations in the Chesapeake on our wish list, and we didn’t get to most of them. The places we did visit were great and now we have some new places to see on the next trip to the bay.

Departure was April 17. The voyage was one week short of three months, A little longer than we initially planned.

Driving back to be at monthly meetings broke up the trip and had some plusses and minuses. On one of those trips we had some repairs done which was very convenient; we weren’t on the boat while a hatch was being replaced. It would have been miserable if we had been.

There is one more Maryland drive on our agenda. We will bring the canoe and some other loaned items back and of course the Volvo.

The yard has been kept well watered by neighbor Bob but otherwise largely neglected except for an occasional mowing. In addition to the long to-do list for the boat, my live in master gardener will add plenty of items to keep us both busy the rest of the summer.

Remember to hit the more photos link. There are many more in the album that we have posted in our reports.

Lynn will add some final comments. Except for those, this blog is complete. Thanks for following us.
