Tuesday was a pretty nice day, weather-wise. We decided to load the bikes up into the dinghy and go for a ride. Kevin had programmed the local streets into the handheld GPS so we wouldn't get lost, I packed a lunch and off we went. This part of Maryland is really pretty. It's mostly farmland and tiny towns. Our eleven mile trek took us past tobacco (or at least a green leafy substance that we thought was tobacco) and corn fields as well as a few picturesque farmhouses. At the end of the ride we stopped at a park and ate lunch while watching sailboats on the Tred Avon river.
Yesterday (Wednesday) was mostly rainy and the wind shifted from north to south, which usually isn't a big deal but because of where we set our anchor we ended up aground. We didn't drag of course, but when the tide went out we discovered we were in only 3.5 feet of water (we need at least four for the boat to float). No problem. We decided to just wait until the tide came back in and then move the boat to a better spot. But in the meantime Kevin scrubbed the transom steps which are usually awash in dingy brown water. So in a way being aground was a good thing.
Today we decided to move the boat up the peninsula a ways to San Domingo creek. It's close to a town called St. Michaels which is supposed to be kind of a tourist destination on this side of the bay. It rained most of the day today so we haven't been able to go ashore yet, but hopefully this weekend it will clear up a bit.
Where we are:
Location=San Domingo Creek
Lat=38 46.333
Lon=76 13.869
