Rum, it's rum, silly

29 July - Where is the summer going? I've been commuting alternating weeks to Raleigh where Teresa and I have been making wedding plans and I've been promoting my book. Weekends we're back on Lastdance and have enjoyed some great sailing. We sailed north to Fairlee Creek and navigated the very scary and tricky entrance which brings you to within feet of the beach. We connected there with john and Gail, and then were joined by Aaron and Jackie in s/v Katz Meow and Ted and Marion in s/v T's Me. There we drank a gallon of Capt John's Pain Killers and then we dinghied ashore to Jellyfish Joel's Beach Bar where we sampled there own version of a Pain Killer but I can tell you, Capt John makes the real thing!

A week later, Teresa and I sailed off alone in a nice southerly breeze and and made our way to the Wye River. After a great sail, we anchored in Quarter Cove, opposite Dividing Creek. We sipped refreshing Mimosas, and devoured a tub of Teresa's excellent homemade Confetti Salsa. We then shared a bottle of Pinot Noir and a couple of T-bone steaks. After a second bottle of wine, we weathered out Teresa's first thunderstorm "at sea," and watched the brilliant lightening show in the sky north of us.
