Motored to Annapolis, Lucky to find a ball on Memorial Day weekend.

ORIOLE back in the water.
Leaving six weeks later than planned, we decided to go North until Labor Day then head back to Annapolis. The Cape May to Montauk route want available, so we stopped in Atlantic Highlands north ways visiting Port Washington, Jefferson, North Port, Shelter Island, Fishers Island, Groton, Bristol, New Bedford, Cutty Hunk, and Martha's Vineyard before fleeing West to avoid Lee and return.
At anchor in Lake Worth waiting for parts (Max Prop fell off between Freeport and Florida) and a quick haul out in Riviera Beach, departed for home 20 April. Combined ICW and offshore hops to Morehead City, then a day in Oriental, Dismal Swamp, and up the Chesapeake to arrive at sunset at Annapolis.
Havelock, NC South to Boynton Beach, FL ( to futilely try to get our water maker repaired), then over to the Bahamas. Stayed at friends on land April 11-13.
No photo. Due to the mizzen mast being off we couldn't get the outboard (100lbs) off the dink for maintenance. I decided to row it over to the Hartge YH dingy lift and crane it off there, then swing into the back of the van.
Using one of my 10 maintenance days on Oriole (Hartge YH).
