Took on fuel, water, and ice at Chesapeake Boat Basin near this favorite anchorage of ours on the west side of the Chesapeake. Ray *almost* went for a swim as the seawater was close to 70°F and it was muggy. The afternoon rain predicted never materialized, and the WX Radar is clear at this hour, as seen below.

This morning *leaving* Horn Harbor was a lot more relaxing, as our chart plotter had its own bathymetry from yesterday, plus we had an extra 12” of water beneath us, having timed the exit at high tide.
The sea state on the Chesapeake was flat dead calm today! A bit of fog/haze, but nothing alarming. Cloud cover varied for the whole passage from thin to full overcast and back to thin again. Temps were comfortable all day. Perhaps too muggy once secured in the anchorage. Blue skies came thru for 50% of the sky late in the afternoon.
