On January 6,
2006, we bid farewell to Thomas Point Lighthouse near Annapolis, a
favorite icon of the Chesapeake Bay. |

We spent a week
in Oriental, North Carolina and were happy to find time to visit with our
cousins Dan, Sharon and Katherine. They spent two years sailing in
the Caribbean and were a wealth of information and ideas for us.
Sharon swapped some of her favorite cruising recipes with Lisa. |

Sharon gave Lisa a lesson in
baking bread at her home near the Whitaker Creek Yacht Harbor. We
made a focaccia and two loaves of brown bread shown at left. Both
were delicious, and neither lasted more than a day! |

dinner at the TW Graham & Co. |
