After leaving the C&D canal we travelled to a small harbour on the east side of the Chesapeake Bay called Worton Creek. As we pulled in there were 3 guys admiring our boat. After docking they came over to welcome us to the marina. During the conversation we mentioned that we were low on bread. One of the men called his wife, who was in town and told her to pick us up a loaf. About a hour later, his wife delivered us the bread. What nice people, we are treated like celebrities, actually everyone we have met have been very friendly. We are so glad that we are taking out time, and seeing all these small places that most people miss on their race south. Later on they invited us to their boat for drinks, we sat telling them stories about our adventure.That night I tried my luck at catching crabs. This is the crab capital but all I got was catfish. Had to go on Youtube to learn from a kid in California, next time I'm going to have a feast. I'm confident. Most people around here just tie a chicken neck on a string, when the greedy crab grabs it they pull him in slowly then net him. I might have to try this trick.
I had to settle going to the restaurant.
Two days later we left and sailed to Rock Hall, Md. an old fishing town. We tied to a free dock in the harbour, right next to the crab boats. Should have went over and bought some but I want to catch my own.
The next morning, we couldn't hold out any more we made our way to Annapolis, Md, back where we had bought Mistress and the site of the US boat show. We were meeting friends who ahd drove down to attend the show. We reserved one of the last remaining docks at a premium price, we also had a few things we needed to buy or fix. This show has all the manufacturers under one roof so we had to see it one more time.
The cold weater has caught up us so we have to put some miles under our keel and move further south.
