Had spent the past few days working on making sunscreens for the cockpit and changing over the batteries from lead acid to lifepo4 batteries - and I needed to get out and sail.  Wind was out of the E-NE at 10 knots with sunny skies.  When we pulled out of the slip at 2:45 it was 82 degrees and the barometer was at 30.22.  Got the sails up after entering Langford Creek and sailed all the way down the Chester towards Eastern Neck Island.  Saw lots of other sailboats coming our way - some were staying at our home marina - Lankford Bay marina. Turned around about 3:45 and headed back on a beam reach (as we had sailed down) and we were back in the slip by 4:45.  Then I popped over to help a friend who was installing  new stantions on his Hunter Legend 40.5!
