Haven't Moved

In case you haven't noticed, our position hasn't changed much in three days. We were at Haven Harbor Marina for one night and then moved across to Swan Creek where we have been anchored for three days now. It is such a beautiful and calm spot with easy access to land and showers, that we haven't wanted to leave. We will probably head over to Annopolis tomorrow for the boat show this weekend and to meet up with some friends.

Yesterday we spent the day ashore walking around Rock Hall (the town took only 5 minutes to walk through). The neighborhoods are quaint and the marina's are plentiful. There are hundreds of Island Packets here (that's the make of our boat for those who don't know). We looked at an IP 40 that's been on the market for quite some time. It has been neglected for a couple of years and needs some work though.

So not much else to report. Michele made a banana bread for breakfast to warm up the cabin. Will make a sauce and meatballs later. We had a beef stew Saturday night and a roasted chicken dinner on Sunday night. Yesterday we ate out at Waterman's Crab House. It was good, but very pricey. I was just happy not to have to cook - although I did make an excellent breakfast of scrambled eggs with spinach, tomatoes and cheese with toast yesterday morning. And such is the leisurely life of cruisers. We also met other cruisers on walk. You can tell them from a mile away. They are usually 40-60 years old. They carry backpacks and carry a map. But the dead give-away is the guy with the white beard! He gives it away every time.

Michele,

I sent an e-mail to your private email address. Let me know if you do not get it. I have friends in Beaufort who will be glad to give you help if you need it when you get there. Their phone number is on the email.

Sounds like your really enjoying the cruise. I had to e-mail some of your snap fish pics to Janine because she said she had not got any form you.she liked the NY ones. We're going over to don,s for sup tonight and tell him how your doing. Nothing new here. auntie Joan is still here and we don't know when she's heading south. The weather is starting to get chilly at night down in the 40's, time to turnon the heat. Mom hasn't read this blog yet but she'll get around to it today. Happy sailing.
