Out Last Night

Marilyn and I had theater tickets to the Walnut Theater last night. We first stopped at EL Vez for dinner. It was resturant week in Philly so they were offering a special menu.  We had mojitos and dinner it was great. The play was called "Curtains" a musical whodunnit.  It was pretty good much better than the plays at the Wilma!  Then we had to run thru the rain to the train station. The trains were runing late due to the storms. Getting up this morning was pretty hard again!

Back to work...

Work has been piling up since I've been away. Went to the dentist yesterday. Got a permenent crown put in. Now I'm in the office today and I'm being pulled in 5 different directions this morning. I'll get it sorted out soon.

End of vacation

Emptying the boat.

back in rock hall

We sailed down the chester river trying to avoid all the fishermen.
Back in the bay we had to avoid a race of about 30 sailboats. They
were all flying colorful spinnakers. We motored back to rock hall and
into our slip. We rinsed off the boat and cleaned up a bit. Haven
harbor next-door is having a end of year party and we did not go.
After spending quiet nights a raucous part is not what we had on the
adgenda.

From the Corsica river

This morning we were In the wye river. There was wind blowing to 25
knots in the bay as we headed to Kent narrows for fuel and to have our
tank pumped out. We were taking spray over the bow. It was pretty
rough. When we went under the bridge and fueled up the chester river
was pretty calm. We put up sails and headed to reed creek. But the
entrance was too tricky. We continued on to the corsica river were we
are anchored tonight.

The boat is an old lobster boat from Maine. The boat has been slowly
restored. Look at the navigation lights they are kerosene.

Boat in the narrows

Boat in Knapps Narrows

Tilghman creek

We started the day in Oxford. Tomorrow is going to be windy and
choppy. So we headed north. On the way we stopped in Knapps Narrows.
We docked for a few hours to swim in the pool, get some groceries and
get cleaned up. Heading around Poplar Is we had schools of rays
swimming with us. We were past by the cruise ship American Spirt which
was heading to St Micheals

Vacation rainy day

Labor day extravaganza

We had Marj and Roy down to the boat over the weekend. Earl was an
unwanted visitor. We experienced the tail end of the hurricane winds.
On Friday I was working on the laptop on the boat when it refused to
work for me anymore. I had to kill it. I smashed it into small
pieces. Time for a new computer! The winds were blowing at 25knots on
Saturday and the waves were up. It would not have been a fun ride. So
we sat in spring cove on Saturday. Sunday we went out and had a great
sail. But our destination was beyond Kent narrows and there were
hundreds of boats out. We would have been stuck in a jam at the
bridge. We turned and sailed to swan creek. It was a great sail back
and the night was fantastic. Nice clear and cool evening. Fast
forward to the drive home. In chestertown I got a warning from the
police for going too fast. No ticket but I'm the one who warns
everyone who comes down to watch the speed!
