Such beautiful temperatures for August, so we wanted to get away for an overnight. There was no wind so we motored to the Rhode River, a short distance from our yacht clug. We passed the Love Bug again, which had been raised out of the water since they last time we passed her. We assume they are dewatering. 

After anchoring, we took a 3-mile hike at the Smithsonian Environmental Resource Center (SERC). We grilled dinner in the cockpit. Then, for the first time this season, we slept in the cockpit, and needed blankets due to the cool evening temperatures. The morning sunrise was glorious, punctuated by geese honking as they flew over our boat.
