Lots of boats out today, and the usual early fall parade

Not us, we're still on LT patrol.
There were a ton of boats out fishing off of Kent Island today near
the R88 buoy. We were headed east, not south, still looking for foto
ops. From Annapolis we took a little excursion up the Wye River and
ended up in St Micheals as we close in on the quarry. The bay was
nearly flat except for the occasional freighter wake.
"The Bay" has a number of weather patterns sometimes, with hardly any
waves in one section and two to three footers in another.
The trip to St. Michaels is a pretty one, and the town is very nice.
Nice restaurants, too, though they are charging haute cuisine prices for
pretty ordinary fare.
The side of St. Michaels harbor opposite the museum as you head out
towards the river is quite shallow in places. Friend of mine ran soft
aground in his 40-footer once. No damage.
