Departed Yacht Haven Annapolis. Passed through mooring field. Due to power of the wind, declined to set any sails. Had removed sail cover and two sail ties before changing mind. Motored in the area outside Spa Creek and upstream of Horn Point. Reviewed bow, stern, starboard and port, and fore and aft. Reviewed characteristics of government marks: shape, coloring, numbering, sequence, sides of channel. Reviewed a number of land marks visible in the area. Put both Tal and Leah on the tiller for a period of time. Practicing holding the boat into the wind while I worked the sail ties. No drama day. Throughly enjoyable. Ended too late to make Sweet Frog.
