Week 15

10/4-5/20 Crisfield MD

Beautiful marina with some very mysterious clouds for the beginning of October.

10/6-7/20 Pocomoke City MD

Cruised up the Pocomoke River, probably one of the prettiest rivers we've been on! Stayed on the Pocomoke City town dock and enjoyed walking along the river. Met the sweetest couple in Crisfield that invited us to stay at their dock, as their home is on the river. We declined but he came and picked me up and took me to the store and back! Boaters are the Nicest People! 

10/9-10/20 Back to Tangier Island VA. Visited with Mr. Milton, anyone who has cruised the Chesapeake Bay know this gentleman. Had an exciting time as we had to be towed back to Crisfield as the fuel line was clogged. Kent fixed it the next day!

Week 14 (9/26-3/20)

 

Week 14

9/26-27/20 Wye River MD

Anchored out in the Wye River on our way south. We had nice water cruising in to a beautiful spot; saw eagles, grazing black sheep, and lovely wild flowers!

9/30-2/20 St. Michaels, Oxford & Cambridge MD - What lovely towns! St. Michaels was more touristy with fun water-front restaurants, shops, found a nice sidewalk café and brewery. Took a great walking path along the river and found a cute covered bridge.

My favorite of these 3 towns was Cambridge! So much history, older/restored homes, great farmers market, blue crabs, and took a dinghy ride under the swing bridge! Kent found an ice-cream soda shop and of course a brewery. I loved seeing and reading about Harriett Tubman and seeing the slave route through the Choptank River. A big highlight was getting a photo of her mural with two adorable models!

10/3/20 Back to Solomons Island MD for a quick stop.

Week 13 ( 9/16/20)

Week 13

9/16-24/20 Middle River MD, Altoona & Pittsburgh PA

As I said earlier, we've only had the best people experiences, but at Middle River Landing Marina we were fortunate to be on the same dock with some locals. We had the best time and will definitely return next year to see them!

We rented a car to head into PA. First stop was friends in Altoona! It was Great to see Bob and Mary! Their hospitality was so very kind, beautiful home in the mountains, and they introduced us to Heinz Spicy Mustard! Who knew?

Traveled on to Pittsburgh to visit John and Melissa! Another fantastic meal with Wonderful friends! Had to stop and have a Primanti Brothers sandwich with local beers. Kent picked up some fresh charcuterie and pasta. Nice shops along the way. We walked for miles and ended up having to carry poor Bodie for awhile.

Also found out Arya & Molly are having a baby girl and welcomed little 

Luna into our family!

One of our favorite places on the Chesapeake! Chestertown is adorable! Great marina, found a fabulous winery, ate Paella on the square, saw Washington College (chartered in 1782, 10^th oldest college in the US), very nice people (never met anyone unfriendly on our trip).  

Week 10 (9/1-7/20)

 

Week 10

9/1-7/20 Annapolis & Baltimore MD

Went for a nice bike ride around Annapolis, saw the US Naval Academy but were not allowed to go in. Found the BEST lump crabcake, on the Chesapeake Bay, in Annapolis! Survived a major thunderstorm! Very glad to be in a well-protected marina.

Really enjoyed Baltimore! Ended up staying close to the Fells Point area. Enjoyed music on the square, great beer and mostly visiting our nephew Trevor, his fiancée Zoe and great friend Chris! They showed us around Baltimore, had a beautiful meal at a sidewalk café and saw the Washington Monument (completed in 1829, 14 years to complete). We took them for a cruise around the Inner-Harbor! Beautiful day and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights of Baltimore from the water

Oh Yes and then there's this!

Week 9 (8/23/20)

Week 9

8/23/20 Horseshoe Bend on St. Mary’s River MD - Cruised up the Potomac River and anchored out across from St. Mary’s College. Beautiful old college with an onsite bakery. Best breakfast sandwich ever! Very picturesque and tranquil. Kent was excited to see his own Hall.

                            

8/24-1/20 Solomons Island MD - Why so long you may wonder? Damn dinghy stopped working again! But it’s also a fun place! We biked into town and enjoyed a nice outdoor lunch, found a Tiki Bar and just enjoyed watching the many boats come and go. Took a day cruise up St. Leonard Creek and walked over to the Calvert Marine Museum.
