We live on a small tributary just inside the mouth of Back Creek. We work right at the mouth of Spa Creek. In the mornings I usually make the short trip on my bike. But on the weekends I often take the company skiff, Bird, home.
Bird makes it possible for Christy & I to take a slow bell cocktail river cruise on Sunday afternoons. We could do the same thing in the dink but Birds size makes it possible to share this simple pleasure with friends. As much as I enjoy this unsophisticated ritual my favorite thing about taking Bird home is the ride to work on Monday morning.
The rising sun, the days breeze has yet to build and thousands of boats all riding quietly in their slips makes for a simple pleasure that tugs at my very being. I actually look forward to those Monday mornings....

Was at Annapolis Sail Yard to look at a Baba 40 with Rich Kahn. I realized to late that this is also your work address. I enjoy your writings and would have liked to say hello. Looks like we will be doing a survey and sea trial so maybe will still have the chance.

Congrats on the prospect of owning a new boat. When you're here for the sea trial definitely stop in to say hi....

What a beautiful view. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that just make everything worth it.
It really is all about the simple pleasures.....
