Annual Boat Auction at the CBMM
Watermark's Lady Sarah about to depart CBMM

I've always wanted to attend the CBMM boat auction over Labor Day weekend, and it finally happened. The weather was splendid all four days, and the winds even cooperated for a change. It's always tough to sail ALL the way to St. Michaels, since we leave the South River heading SE, then turn up the Eastern River heading NE, and then turn down again heading SE. Winds were ENE on 8/29 and SW on 9/1, but we still managed to sail for two hours each day. The boat auction took place on Saturday, and the museum raised over $160K. There were some amazing good deals. We only bought PFDs for our grandkids, but those were a good deal too.
And the Lady Sarah docked at the CBMM for a few hours (A Day on the Bay tour), so I got to say hello to some work colleagues!
