Ok, vacation is over and then the week of VERY HOT temps have come and past and then the extra weekend work  (as a photographer you don't tend to turn down fll day's work shooting at an NFL team summer game).  Sunday comes and the temps are in the mid 80s. So, Sunday afternoon finds my wife and I down on The Bay sailing on our favorite West River.  The water was flat, the breeze was ESE at 5-8 knots. The sailing was GLORIOUS! Long tacks and no waves. My wife was a great sport, she wasn't feeling too great but we sailed on for a few hours before "suggesting" we turn back.  We did and were just in time to beat the bugs. 

So, what is next?  August is notorious for HOT Humid days and Thunder Storms that have plagued Bay Sailors since Captain John Smith...  Fall, my favorite time of year isn't far off... Fair Winds to you all.
