Yesterday it we pruned and watered our grapes and got a start on pressure washing the house. It was a sunny and humid 90°f and seemed like a good day for that.
In the evening I enjoyed a nice sail. The next three days should be great for that.

We had over 4.5” of rain in under two hours today, and the result was a whole lot of flooding.
I removed two aquatic(!) turtles from the road on my way home from work.

I’m going to guess that the heavily industrialized nature of the economy here - agriculture & poultry - leaves teens & twenty something’s feeling they have few options to support a family. I’m guessing most leave. The population demographics trend older here & labor is imported from Mexico & Haiti.

This Diamondback Terrapin was hunkered down in the road. So I set roadside in a Spartina Patens field.

Day trip to Cambridge and Hoopers Island, MD.
Cambridge is, IMO, hands down the prettiest town on the Eastern Shore. Very historic. Very pleasant. Didn’t take photos in town while driving so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

While waiting for supplies to re-rig the Lugger, I went island hopping under motor yesterday. Visited two islands I’d not been to yet, and found a terrapin nesting site and collected some fishing trash.

And I made it back to the ramp in darkness, moored, and disembarked. All with dry feet!
First time for me doing any of these things. 🙌🏼

I’d like to double the size of this.
Also, the first asparagus is here and it’s delicious straight from the ground.
