Sunday thru Tuesday, we were in Deltaville, VA. Still too hot. Wind had a northern component….not desirable, upwind, no thanks. Borrowed marina car to visit supermarket, only game in town. Quite a storm on Tuesday. Met our friends’ family, Roger and Marilyn’s son and his family, visiting from Italy. All their grandkids that I have met are adorable, well rounded children….cute too.

Wednesday, nice morning….time to depart Deltaville. 8:30…..already hot. We tied up at Calvert’s, in Solomons, MD, by 4:45. Usually, we spend the first night in Solomon’s on the hook, anchored out before we get to the marina. This year, way too hot….need to plug into Marina electricity for air conditioner…..that has been the story this whole trip north. We weren’t in a hurry to get home. I think I was actually stalling. But, it’s been mostly, marina to marina, with the air conditioner on plus a small fan forward.

Next comes cleaning and packing before picking up the rental car and driving home. This year, I decided to empty every locker, bin, drawer, etc and clean out. Several trips were made to donation bins. Some “stuff” was brought home. It’s the same as a house, constantly organizing, sorting, cleaning……..I insist on leaving her clean and organized. Nothing of any value is left on board. When we get back, load, stock and go…..

Another trip completed.
