Flashback (Honeymoon Suite)
The day after our wedding, Sharon and I left to go on our honeymoon in the Four Corners region, the Grand Canyon being our ultimate destination with other scenic stops in the surrounding area (states). This photo was taken in Monument Valley. Our customized van served as our honeymoon suite for those 3 weeks, I guess that you can say we have always been adventurous or crazy.

Still Hav'n Fun
It has been 2 weeks since our last blog entry so I thought I would post something from this past weekend. Last Friday, Sharon and I drove down to the boat together, which usually only happens when the boat is on the hard. The weather forecast for the weekend was to be hot with increasing humidity, so we decided to head up to Comegy's Bight. The openness of Comegy's Bight would surely provide a breeze and just as we hoped it would, the gentle breeze cooled the boat for sleeping that night.
Saturday's weather called for thunder storms, and as predicted the thunder storms popped up that evening, a severe cell passed to the north and later a strong cell formed to the south. We on the other hand, had a brief shower and strong winds to raise the chop in our anchorage. After listening to the forecast on Sunday which called for more thunderstorms than the previous night, we decided to seek safe harbor in a anchorage that offered a little more wind protection, so we headed down to Reed Creek where this photo was taken. Yep, your right, the storms never formed, we had little or no breeze and because we were closer to land we had bugs - you know, the kind that bite. But you know what - we're still hav'n fun.

Fourth of July Celebrations
Friday the 3rd of July was the start of Sharon's vacation. As Grant was in New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch for a 2 week hike, we had Sky with us. One of our "dog friendly" anchorages is Conquest Beach, "across" the river from Comegys Bight. On Friday night, we were treated to Rock Hall's fireworks, which I charted to be 5 miles away as the crow flies. Although we did not have the audio portion of the program, we did have an excellent view due to the low humidity. Then, on the 4th of July, we were again treated to not one but many fireworks displays, and from the same anchorage of the previous night. To the east was the fireworks from Chestertown (7 miles away), and to the west we could get a glimpse of the show from the city of Baltimore, across the bay. Then, to the north, we saw fireworks from a unknown community, and to the south of Chestertown was yet another display. And then there was the amatuer fireworks display from the shoreline that amused us for some time. So you might say we had the best seats in the house!
