I've been sick since Friday and didn't feel like going sailing, but did feel up to a little exploration by motor. We went over to and up adjacent Broad Creek, to the ruins of a wooden railroad trestle - a remnant of the Baltimore & Eastern Shore Railroad. Bonus: we spied a bugeye half sunk at a dock. Sadly, she's the Katherine M Edwards, launched in just 2007. She was built by two accomplished older gentlemen, one the homeowner and a former log canoe captain and builder, as a private project. The other died a year ago. What happened to this dream?
