Day 1 - Bowleys to Rhode River (33.4 NM)
Got down to the boat yesterday around 1pm.  Loaded boat, got ice etc.  Went into Baltimore and picked up Mike from the train station around 3pm.  Went to Fells Pt. and had dinner and a beer in Canton - then headed for the boat.
Left Bowleys Marina about 7:45am on 5/4.  Rained last night. Had medium to dense fog from Middle River to the Bay Bridge.  Races were being held off Annapolis.  Nasty storm clouds coming in from the West but were passing behind us so we lucked out.  Sailed through the racing fleet just as they were getting their courses set and preparing to race (waiting for wind direction to settle out).  Came into Rhoads River around 4pm.  Motored a total of around 5 hours.  Anchored at N38 52.589 W76 31.436.

Check out that huge storm cloud just beyond the Bay Bridge!
