We left North Point Marina in  Rock Hall, MD about 7:50 AM -- once again the Bay was as smooth as glass and it was sunny and warm.  We arrived at Fairlee Creek, MD at 10:15 AM.  En route I did my weight exercises and have graduated from 2 pound to 3 pound weights.  I don't feel any stronger, but know I am improving since I can handle the additional pound.  My shoulders are still "cranky" as Ed, the therapist would say.

This is the Spring Shake-Down Cruise of the Chesapeake Bay Cruisers group -- an off-shoot of MTOA.  Ralph met a new friend this morning, Clay, and we invited him to lunch on our boat.  Meanwhile, Kay and Mike on Lowe Key dropped by and after lunch Pat and Rick on Sequel and Rich on This-'L-Do came over and we had a fun afternoon catching up. We took Striper ashore and played with her and went for a little walk before dinner.

We met at Lolli and Craig's lovely home for a pulled pork dinner --and everyone brought a side-dish or dessert. Dinner was delicious  It was so much fun seeing our old friends again.  Terri and Danny O'Kane  are hosting the event this weekend here at Great Oak Landing in Fairlee Creek.

Here are a few of today's photos:
