Al's cruise partner, Tom Goldsmith, arrived with
a lovely, airy, homemade boom tent which he promptly proceeded to instal.
......

The boom tent worked very well, even letting through a refreshing spray during a midnight downpour on a very hot night with temperatures well into the 80s. Nonetheless, this would be the only night's use the tent would get as Tom felt so claustrophobic with his head towards the bow, that he spent most of the night sleeping in his car. Al's problem was a major sunburn from Saturday's Tangier-Crisfield sail. So, when Tom suggested shore accommodations, Al was all for it and that ended up working out very well!!!

Who says only mad dogs and Englishmen venture out into the midday sun???

a time-out for Dick
......

We saw our end destination, Slaughter Creek, as we left most of the cars and trailers at the Slaughter Creek Marina
where we dined at Palm Beach Willie's.
