first day photos

Thinking about the first day of a sail, the usual mixture of excitement and apprehension.  Here are some photos for the first days of trips.  There's something special about that first day, I've written about it before.  


Rumbley, Md., fall of last year on a solo sail, fall 2010...


Potters Marine, near Bath N.C., early summer last year...


Sailing down Far Creek out of Engelhard, NC, spring of '09...


Motoring down the waterfront of Ewell on Smith Island, Md, fall of '09...


Maw Bay, NC, just a few weeks ago...


Island Creeks, Mouse Harbor, NC, spring 2010...

Bruce arrives tomorrow evening.  Then breakfast at the Great Bridge Grill.  Then shopping.  Then packing.
