We took a four day cruise around and about. First night was at Lloyd's Creek on the Sassafras river. There was decent wind for most of the day so we got in some fine sailing.
The fleet anchored safely, knowing a storm was rolling in. The radar showed a band up and down the entire east coast that was quite narrow but sweeping rapidly from west to east.
Here is the leading edge of it rolling in.
The sun was still beating down from the east, making this boat glow.
When it swept over us we had pouring rain and a few minutes of 40 mph winds.
This cool shot of Hobo came from the glowing boat.
Then within a half an hour it was over.
Just in time for a beach party.
Took the dinghy out and about in the morning to go see the lotuses on Lloyd's creek but I forgot how far it is upstream so we didn't make it.
The next day we were off for Havre De Grace for their fireworks display. We anchored in our usual spot near the channel to the city dock, but the city moved the display from the island that protects the city marina to a barge right off of the point so we weren't as close as we might have liked. It was still an excellent display.
Then for the third, we went home to Hances Point to watch the North East fireworks. Their display was, I have to admit, a bit better than Havre De Grace. Plus we had a bonus gorgeous sunset.
