Friday afternoon with temps in the 80's and a healthy west wind warranted a cruise round Willoughby Bay for several hours. Nicely underway as the clock approached 15:00, the R&B raced around up to the shed and back at over 5 knots. The new sound system (courtesy of the young Beaches) spun golden oldies. The bright sun blazed in low humidity and the world was put aright in no time. The oft visited theme of a sail to Cape Charles was again put forth. Dodging crabpots became an entertaining side show for each of the helmsmen. A thorough discussion of the rules of the road ensued as a few other sailors ventured out. Many improvements to be mentioned: interior woodwork, re-wiring, a new power switch box, deck re-paint all bring the boat to its highest state of readiness ever. We returned at 1815 ish and, after an impressively quick button up, were off to a delicious experimental shrimp dinner.
