Since my last post we pulled the boat so that George could paint the bottom and polish the sides. We also had the people at Generation III take a look at the autopilot and rudder. We had noticed an occasional clunking noise that seemed to be related to the steering and wanted to make sure we didn’t have a problem. The folks at Generation III said everything looked good with both the autopilot and rudder so we feel reassured. Once Breeze On came home we went out for a few day sails and felt grateful for the opportunity during these days of social distancing. A few days ago we set sail for the western shore of the Chesapeake. After a nice day of downwind sailing our first stop was the Rhode River. We stayed there one night then set sail north past Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Magothy River. We arrived at the bridge just as two other sailboats were passing under it. That was a first for us. George would happily tell you that both of those boats had been ahead of us and
