Yeah, I actually saw some guys using umbrellas. I didn't see anyone
catching a "keeper" rock, though. Lots and lots of bluefish all over the
place, plus lots of scared baitfish, diving birds, jumping fish.

For me, the most enjoyable fishing is usually now through Thanksgiving,
assuming it cools down.

I think the 4Runner is the *best* SUV on the road. I'm thinking of
trading in our 2004 for a current model. I really like it and to date,
it has been 100% reliable. I *don't* much like the tire pressure warning
gizmos, though.

Have you noticed the little mirrors in the corners in the rear, just
above the tailgate class? :}

My X5 was made in America, by Americans. Where do they make the 4Runner?

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.

Hopefully, you photo'd Thomas Point Lighthouse.

We went right by it yesterday, about 0.7 NM offshore. It looked great
from the distance.

Sharps Island lighthouse is next. Try to get it when the boat's not
rocking.
