Last August, cruising on the Chesapeake, I took the below picture of “Selina II” leaving the St.Michael’s harbor. Through her web page I found the address and mailed the picture to Captain Iris Clarke. We became pen pals. Yesterday we met and I had a wonderful visit with her and her friends. This afternoon I sailed on “Selina II” . A busman’s holiday. I took the scenic route up the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, crossed the York River at Yorktown and stopped in Urbanna on the Rapahannock to drop off the things that Lynne had left on “Fleetwood”. Then crossed the Chesapeake east of Annapolis. I returned to Chesapeake, this evening following the Eastern Shore and crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. Two fun filled days and America at it’s best. Lush green in early summer splendor after the recent rains.
