First 24 hours

Here's Clio, a very happy girl in a comfy place watching TV ... it was the White House Correspondents Dinner. 

House is locked, and provisions stowed on-board.  Spent our first night aboard at our slip in Oxford waiting for an early morning cast-off of lines and departure.  Thank you to our neighbor Dean for the drive and drop off to our boat Saturday night.  Sarah too, for the dockside delivery of chocolate-chip cookies … those cookies will probably not make it past the Bay Bridge tomorrow.  Plus, thanks for all the warm messages from family and friends.  Lastly, a Big Shout Out to all the Downeast Loopers who cruised before us and provided great information and inspiration, especially Duane on the motor vessel DIVA DI … wow, what an amazingly detailed cruising blog!

April 30: Our cruise up the Bay was a little windy, sloppy and overcast.  Here, we are about to pass under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge … not sure which is more dangerous, driving over or cruising under that bridge.  And yes, that is a Cat On Board burgee.
