Best day of the year so far for boating on Chesapeake Bay. Accompanied by
wife and my in-laws, we got an early start from Chesapeake Beach, headed
up towards the Bay Bridge, came down through Kent Narrows, visited St.
Micheals for a while, then went as far up the Miles River as the Route 370
bridge.

Wish the rest of the summer would be as temperate as today.

Some snaps:

Gas was $3.69+, diesel $2.59+ over at St. Michaels. Very light boating
traffic on the Bay.

Glad to read you had a good day on the shakedown cruise.

We are in the water and will be taking ours out (weather cooperating) over
the weekend).

Gasoline prices at the 2 corner gas stations was at $3.49 as of this morning
and predicted to stay there through the summer. This was up from $3.08 just
yesterday.




$3.49 at the corner gas station is what at marinas in your area? $3.99?

Gas at the local corner stations here (Wawa, for example) was $3.07
today, but over on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the news reported, it
was $2.87.

This is going to be a terrible year for many boaters.
