Two shots of the same view, from the boat while we were in Atlantic Highlands. The sunset was so many colors of red, yellow, gold, purple, blue, it was amazing. The next morning, after a rain shower, the only color was the rainbow. The sky and water were exactly the same shade of blue-gray.

We got back into the Chesapeake this week. Great weather now, much cooler and MUCH less humidity. I can actually wear a piece of clothing twice! We will stay in this part of the Bay for most of the month. We have a Seven Seas Cruising Association Gam from the 25-27th, just south of here. A 'gam' is what the old sailors used to call the flurry of talking and trading that took place when boats met out on the ocean. So we'll get together with a bunch of other sailors for a few days and do a lot of gamming. There is also a pretty good flea market on the last day, a chance to find some treasures.

We're looking forward to Labor Day and doing some sightseeing around Annapolis, looking up some friends, doing a little BBQing. It's so nice to be able to sit out in the sun and have it feel good!
