We have participated in Maryland Grows Oysters (MGO) program through the Severn River Association (SRA) for years, and got the notice last week that we needed to take our oysters out of their six cages in the water under our dock and go plant them in the oyster colony, which on the Severn is between the two bridges.  Got my oysters into 3 buckets and had a nice ride down the Severn about 8:30 this morning -- trying to beat the heat.

In the early pm, went out with my daughter for her to practice getting SkyLark off and on the lift, and setting and retrieving an anchor.  Was fine when we were out in the wind on the river, but was pretty hot once we returned to the dock.  Headed to 100 today...
