Parkside to Shaw Bay
This trip was to be a 4 day mini vacation for Jen, Katie, and Christian. They arrived for dinner on Wednesday and we had crabs for dinner. Then we played games and finally every one to bed. Thursday we waited for te rain to slow down before getting started. SInce it was to be a delayed departure we ad sausage and gravy for breakfast. Finally when it was a light drizzel we got going. It was light rain most of the way across the bay but it finally let up as we arrived at Kent Island Narrows Bridge. We waited for the opening and then motored through. We sailed for a little bit on the other side but decided on getting to the anchorage sooner. It took 2 tries to set the anchor but as soon as that was done Christian and I went in for swim call. I washed the waterline to remove the yellow stain and he spent time diving. Somewhere he was stung by a jelly and got out. We ahd hamburgers and hotdogs along with potato salad and cucumber salad with water mellon for desert. Then Katie, Sue and Christian played scrabble and Jen and I stayed down below and relaxed. Boaters midnight.
Shaw Bay to Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
We took our time in the moring as it was to be a short trip to St. Michaels. The anchor came up clean but bobbie was caught under water. Katie motored most of the way. Upon arrival to CBMM we heard no response on ch 16 so I switched to 68 and got ahold of Josh right away. He had us go around to E Dock (actually ahead of the other two boats still calling on 16.) We waited for another boat at the pumpout and finally motored in. When completed we docked in F1 and cleaned up. We walked into town to get Rum and then back for dinner at Awlful Arthurs. There was a wedding at CBMM so Saturday we walked about the Museum in the morning and did more shopping in the afternoon.
St. Michaels to Parkside
We awoke at a normal time and everyone was ready to leave by 9 am. We twisted out of the slip (I took the stern line off too soon) and we were on our way. We sailed a little but since the wind died down and we needed to get back earlier than later, we motored. Katie drove most of the way, including through the bridge opening. Docking went well and everyone cleaned up and then headed home.
