Tony and Mary looking pretty relaxed

With his mainsail up, Dick begins to pull away from Solje.

We're still getting the occasional gust, but the winds seem to be mostly well under 15 knots now.

With Hans otherwise occupied, the W938 helm is taken over by ...

At the mouth of Crisfield Harbor, Uncle Al strikes a ...

And then it's Gary's turn.
...

Fine picture-taking light, this!!

Moving past Gary and Al who are busy with their beer are ...

... Jeremy (helm) and Hans.
...

Ah! Refreshments are served!
