38:56.9N 76:31.20W   So the day up the Bay was really a "weary sail and slog"….no sleep by anyone….pitching, "slamming", and rolling….at one point, the best we could do, with the engine and sail, was 2.6 knots because we had "wind on the nose at 25 knots" and "current against us at at 2 knots plus".  The slow slog meant we needed for sure to get fuel.  We stopped at Solomon's Island, south of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant, did a fast refuel, grabbed a breakfast at "Angler's", the "put the pedal to the metal"…because we new Dave and other neighbors were waiting with "Cannon Fire" for arrival!   We entered Aberdeen Creek (our home) with "Puller", our "Weapon's Officer and leader of the Canon Brigade" ready to fire the "3 canon shot salvo" upon arrival in the creek.  That salvo was immediately returned by our neighbor Dave and others!!  We carried on to "Cedarstone" where "the Admiral" was waiting for us….she received our lines and tied us up at the dock!  And then…very ceremonially…the Captain brought out the pewter "tots", from the celtic area of St. Malo, France…and the preparations for the "arrival toast" were set!  We toasted King Neptune and thanked him for a safe passage….and we toasted Queen Victoria as well!  So after 1,385 miles and 8 days and 1 hour, we completed our Passage North for 2015!  "Arbella" is home until, hopefully, we replay the sequence for November to June of 2015/2016.  Singing off….Captain Mike
