Should I check "power" below?  We took the sailboat, but never raised a sail.

The weather forecasts were off in a big way, and the weekend -- or the bulk of it anyway -- was pretty decent weather-wise.  We got ourselves out of Spa Creek, making the noon bridge, and made our lazy way to the Rhode River on a Friday afternoon.  We anchored in our "usual" spot -- just past Camp Letts.  

It was a happy surprise that the water felt warm enough (but by no means actually warm) for comfortable swimming, and we were not going to miss a second of it.  Inertia struck, and we and the Whisper gang, basically spent the weekend swimming, drinking, eating and lazing, on repeat.  We spied friends, had a drive-by, and had two boarding parties.

In anticipation of bad weather Monday, we motored home on Sunday.  But the early start on Friday gave us 3 good days.
