100 Degrees

Still Creek MD, N39 19.975 W076 28.521, June 22, 2006

The thermometer says 100 degrees F (38C) there's no wind and it feels very hot.

This morning, anticipating the heat we sailed back south again to Still Creek. The anchorage here is nicer and the water is clean and fine for swimming. Swimming is the only way to escape this heat. I swam twice so far and Libby one. Tonight we'll sleep on deck again.

I haven't managed to transmit email via sailmail and the SSB yet. I'll try tonight with this message.

It's pretty still in Still Creek, but across the bay is the US Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground. They test weapons and munitions there. Both times we sailed by we were startled by numerous very loud explosions. Our son John would love to have a job there. Come to think of it, any red blooded man would love that job. Blowing things up day after day. Come to think of it, our friends in Sweden would love it especially, Swedes seem to have a natural affinity to dynamite, perhaps because of the Nobel connection.
