Had a very pleasant sail on the Patapsco River and the bay. Just a few clouds in the sky with no haze. Temperatures were very nice in the mid 70's. There was no commercial traffic and there were fewer boats than I would have expected for a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Most of the boats I saw were sailboats.
