Why not stay one more day!

Thursday morning, we woke up to 15-25 mile wind gusts. NOAA was predicting 4-5 foot waves. We decided why not stay one more day in Annapolis. So we played. After the front had moved through last night, it left much cooler temperatures. We walked around some and saw more sights. We did a little shopping and had lunch out on the sundeck overlooking the park.

Bavarian Cream (Larry and Jane) had invited us for cocktails at Happy Hour. They have a very nice boat. Larry is originally from Ohio and Jane is a Louisiana girl. They live in Louisiana. We talked about each other’s adventures in being new at this “big boating thing”. In other words, each other’s screw-ups! Had a great time! Walked over to Chick and Ruth’s Delly for dinner. Yes, that's how they spell "Delly. Now this is quite a quirky place. It’s been on the “Man vs. Food” show on the Food Channel. They have a 6 lb. milkshake and a 4 pound cheeseburger. We passed on those. However, they did card everyone when we ordered a beer! We wanted to get there for breakfast, but didn’t make it. Every morning at 9:00 a.m. they have everyone stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance. Now that’s cool!!

Friday morning gave us light winds and cool temperatures. Just what we hoped for! We took care of a few things and headed out about 11:00 a.m. Bavarian Cream had headed out about 6:30. Hope we see them again along the way. We decided to bypass Baltimore since we had spent an extra day in Annapolis. We were ready to see something besides city.

We anchored out in Sassafras River about 18 miles from Chesapeake City. The guide books had said that this was a nice area but to avoid on weekends because it gets busy. Well, we came in on a Friday night so I guess we’ve beat the crowd. - Maybe because it’s a weekend after a holiday. - Usually those are slower. Anyway, it reminds us of the lake and that’s great!

Mike read that Saturday, June 4 is a free fishing day in Maryland. SO, he rigged up his poles and is ready to catch the “catch of the day” first thing in the morning.

We’ll see……….!

Till next time!
