My 10 day Maine cruise starts this morning as soon as my guests arrive and,
hey look, the visibility is improving!

OMG, that's an IMPROVEMENT?

Last I spoke to Skip and Lydia, they were planning to head south again
tomorrow after seeing about as much of Maine as in the picture.

Well, the Chesapeake has been offering far better vistas all this
season, with a few squalls at times, but not as bad as has been in past
seasons. This season has had quite a few very localized storms, fewer
fronts.

They know where I "live". I hope they will contact me for a
personalized cruising guide to the Upper Chesapeake. It's got some
absolutely great spots that they haven't yet touched.

Truth be told, though we're based in the upper Bay, they didn't hit
some of our favorites in the lower Bay in their rush.

The Chesapeake deserves a few months' concerted effort to explore. It'd
take us about 6 months to revisit all our favorite past locations, and
a month or so more to visit the places we were interested in, but were
too far off of our chosen path.
