Weather was beautiful this year, with relatively dry daytime air temperatures in the mid-70’s and clear skies all weekend. Tim Dull, current Association Commodore, was starting his annual Fall Bay cruise from his homeport in Norfolk and elected to do an overnight singlehanded run to Solomons earlier in the week on his boat Skymark to beat a forecasted northerly on Thursday. This breeze was welcome, of course, by the boats sailing south (including Richard) and every one of those, Dave Watson on Priority, Mike and Pat Heilman on Adventure, and Adam Clapsaddle and P.J. Frantzen on Tope, made their way down the bay on Thursday without incident. The Heilman’s and Clapsaddle- Frantzens overnighted in the Little Choptank before coming into Solomon’s on Friday afternoon.
