We found the boat just as we left it with no apparent issues having taken place while we were gone.  I don't know why there is always so much "stuff" to schlep back and forth from boat to home, but it never ceases to amaze me.  We thought we were leaving most of the stuff on the boat this time and there would be little to bring back.  Wrong.  This time the item taking up the most space was our new genoa sail, all tucked away in it's tidy bag.  That's the last time it will ever be that contained!  And we'll never get the old sail folded up that small when we switch them out.  Don't know how they did it at the factory.

We finally got everything on board and put away and turned the air conditioner on (hurray for shore power!).  While that was cooling down the boat, we headed to the grocery store for last minute produce, etc., then found places to put all that.  Cocktails were in order after all that work, followed by a slow dinghy ride up the creek.  Tomorrow we'll head a few miles up the Rappahanock to the Corrotoman River for the night.  There's not much there so probably no internet.
