August '75 - or was it '76. Newly married. Wife and I on a Hinterhoeller Shark - 24' no standing headroom. Mill Creek off Whitehall Bay (just north of Annapolis) South down to St Margarets River (off the Potomac), across to Smith Island, up to Oxford, then St. Michaels then home. No wind, almost all motoring with the 9hp outboard. Double 90's all week. Sun so hot we had to wear sweatshirts from 10 - 3:30 to avoid sunburn. No money, so we stayed on the boat every night. Lots of nettles so no swimming.
And we're still married! Oh, did I mention the mosquitoes that carried the dog away? Or the eel that got loose and slimed up the cabin? Or running aground in muck that held like quicksand? Good, cause none of that happened....... On that trip. Dan SheerPegathy - LF38 Rock Creek off the Patapsco
